Best way to visualize route frequency on a map?
I have a map that displays flight routes. Now I'd like to indicate that some routes are operated more frequently.
Example (flights per week):
- SFO - NRT: 27
- JFK - BER: 4
- BER - DXB: 12
How to visualize the frequency so that the user is able to distinguish between frequent and less frequent routes?
I can imagine various solutions, including
- stroke width,
- dotted/dashed line width varying gaps, or
- color gradient.
Are there best practices?
