Connection Map

Connection maps (also called flow maps or route maps) display relationships and movements between geographic locations using lines or arcs. They're commonly used to visualize flight routes, trade flows, migration patterns, and communication networks. Great circle paths can be used to show the shortest distance between points on a globe, creating visually appealing curved routes that accurately represent real-world paths.

"Create an interactive connection map showing 'International Flight Routes' from New York (JFK) to 10 major world cities. Generate data including destinations (London, Tokyo, Paris, Dubai, Sydney, São Paulo, Singapore, Hong Kong, Frankfurt, Toronto) with weekly passenger volumes (1,500-3,200 range). Draw great circle arcs colored by passenger volume using a blue-to-red gradient. Size origin marker larger (14px) and destinations by passenger volume. Add hover tooltips showing route, distance in miles, and weekly passengers. Use CartoDB dark basemap for contrast. Include a legend for passenger volume and add a title with total weekly passengers."
