Plotting geo data

[Sérgio Nunes]

Hi,

I'm searching for advice on tools to make simple projections of geo
data.
I have a file of triplets (time, lat, long) and would like to show
this as an animated sequence.
Something like: http://labs.google.com/papers/sawzall-20030814.gif

Which tools do you think are particularly well suited for this task?
A Perl or Python library would be ideal.

Thanks in advance,

I know you could use R to plot things on world map.
(you could try rpy aka python bindings for R to code it in python if
you need to.)

I don't know about animating things do. You would have to research that.
