Go to our FAQ pageWhat is Timepath GEO Story?
Timepath Geo Story is a geospatial, interactive storytelling format designed for journalists to tell complex, location-based stories with clarity. Unlike static maps, it combines a narrative layer with dynamic spatial data, allowing users to explore events as they unfold across different coordinates. It enables newsrooms to transform raw geographic data into a structured, engaging journey that provides readers with a deep sense of place and proximity.
How can our newsroom use Timepath GEO Story?
Newsrooms use Timepath GEO Story to bring immediate clarity to geographically complex narratives by transforming abstract data into intuitive visual journeys. Whether visualizing the intricate layers of a global investigation, tracking live breaking news from the field, or offering utility-driven city guides like "50 places to visit", the format ensures readers always understand the "where" in relation to the "why". By layering context directly onto the map, it eliminates confusion and allows audiences to grasp the scale and proximity of events at a single glance, without ever leaving the site.
How do we embed Timepath GEO Stories, and is it good for SEO?
Timepath GEO Stories are designed for seamless integration into any digital ecosystem. They can be embedded into your CMS or mobile app using a script tag or an iframe. Using the script-based embedding method is particularly beneficial for SEO, as it ensures that the map’s textual content remains crawlable by search engine bots, helping your long-form articles and interactive dossiers rank higher in search results.
What are the key benefits of using Timepath GEO Story over standard maps?
Timepath GEO Story significantly elevates audience engagement and retention through interactive "sticky" features that far outperform static imagery.

In addition, the format supports persistent user data, which is perfect for bucket lists where readers return to update their progress, boosting audience loyalty.
