Welcome to the DynamicTransitMap wiki!

This is a project to create a transit map that is genetated automatically from georeferenced data (possibly from Flocktracker). The data should be translated from geographical fixed points to a schematic easy to read transit map based on clear and beautiful design rules.

It should be able to handle both small city networks and huge metropolis networks, for this a set of zoom dependent rules should be created to show only the relevant data at each zoom level.
