#TweakThursday 21: Keeping Map-Size-Color Consistent
A few days ago, the viz of the day on 11/22/2016 shows the bike usage in Philadelphia. Very nicely designed with a combination of route map, top 10 routes per bike station and daily usage heat maps.
The little things I would like to tweak are as follows. The main idea here is to create consistency across different views, so that we can compare things under the equal conditions or relate one view with another easily.
1. Keeping the map view consistent
The map view may vary greatly when clicking on the top 10 route bars.
The single dot means it is a round trip where starting and ending stations are the same one.
To fix this, go to desktop menu: Map > Map Options. Just change the map option from "Automatic" to either "Metric" or "U.S.".
