Overlay maps and paths with PowerPoint (or another similar, free program, such as OpenOffice Impress)

Argonautica provides a wealth of different information. In many cases, it is beneficial to compare them by superimposing the various maps available on others, including those showing positioning data. By viewing maps successively (i.e. creating an animation sequence), either on their own or superimposed on others, it is also possible to highlight oceanographic phenomena and explain a buoy or an animal's movements.

Overlay maps

This kind of software allows you to incorporate images on "slides". Argonautica maps can be superimposed by incorporating two images at the same time (a transparent map over the other map). This is not necessarily the fastest or most convenient method, because the images are not automatically aligned (it is better to precisely adjust the images using the "size and position" menu).

Animate maps

These programs have a "slideshow" mode which is similar to animation. It is not, however, the fastest nor the most practical method.
