Flow maps

A flow map is a mix of a flow chart and a map, hence the name flow maps.  Flow charts are types of diagrams that show processes as steps found in boxes and linked by arrows so that the process or algorithm is easy to follow.  A flow map is used to show movement or steps just like a flow chart does, however these movements or steps are shown on a map.  Flow maps often show movement of people, weather, natural resources, or products.  The above map is not very descriptive but is an easily understood example of a flow map.  This flow map is showing proposed 2006 satellite office locations for an unknown company.
