geovisualization
Spatial data display
Geovisualization is the use of visual representations—maps, 3D models, animations—to explore and communicate geographic data.
The term emphasizes interactive and dynamic displays rather than static maps: The geovisualization showed population shifts over fifty years.
Common in urban planning, environmental science, and data journalism.
