Flow maps are a mix of maps and charts, infographic, to show the movement of goods, objects, people, information and ideas. They are very useful when studying transportation, and movements. In this example we see the exportation of French wines. The lines start out thick when leaving France and break apart to eventually become thin lines connecting to the country importing the wine. This is a very good example because it also shows a ratio of where the wine is going. From this map we can make inferences into who has strong economic ties with France and what countries are interested in French wine.
