This paper describes an ongoing research towards the development of a cartographic framework for mapping movement. Although research on trajectory data and movement analytics is on the rise (Long et al., 2018), the suitability of cartographic theories for movement as a dynamic phenomenon and the efficacy of current visualization approaches for knowledge discovery using large tracking data sets remain understudied (Griffin, Robinson and Roth, 2017; Demšar, Slingsby and Weibel, 2019). A vast amount of information on trajectories (i.e. time-ordered sets of locations of mobile entities) is now collected at very high spatial and temporal resolutions. These data promise new forms of knowledge about global flows of humans and goods, disease outbreaks, the impact of transportation changes on urban dynamics, or effects of human activity on the behavior of competing species. However, as computational approaches advance our ability to analyze trajectory data, we remain limited in our understanding of how movement patterns should be displayed in accurate and informative ways.
