The next geographical mapping startup, [SpatialKey](http://www.spatialkey.com/spatialkey/www/index.cfm?ref=protein.xyz) \[spatialkey.com\] is marketed as a "next generation Information Visualization, Analysis and Reporting System". It is specifically designed to help organizations quickly assess location-based information to allow for decision making processes and reporting requirements. There are several [online demos](http://www.spatialkey.com/spatialkey/www/gallery/?ref=protein.xyz) available, ranging from "Wal-Mart store openings (1962 - 2005)" to "San Antonio prostitution arrests (January, 2006 - July, 2007)" In practice, users can view and overlay all sorts of "geo-temporal data" (data with recorded location and time information) and generate time slices of the data, much like a moving weather map. The current visualization templates include three different map rendering techniques: *heat map*, *heat grid* and *graduated circles*. SpatialKey somehow reminds me of [Stamen](http://stamen.com/?ref=protein.xyz)'s [Trulia Hindsight](http://infosthetics.com/archives/2007/05/trulia%5Fanimated%5Fresidential%5Fgrowth%5Fmap.html?ref=protein.xyz).
