Vehicular telematic systems and methods for generating interactive animated guided user interfaces

A vehicular telematics method of generating interactive animated guided user interfaces (GUIs) operable to provide scrubbed playback rendering of geospatial graphics, the vehicular telematics method comprising:

• receiving, at a telematics cloud platform, vehicular telematics data from a telematics device onboard a vehicle, each of the vehicular telematics data including a geographic position of the telematics device and a time value of the geographic position, the vehicular telematics data defining a vehicular trip of a vehicle, the vehicular telematics data defining a telematics dataset having a first data size;
• determining, via a GUI value compression component implemented at the telematics cloud platform, a plurality of GUI position values and a plurality of corresponding GUI time values based on the geographic positions and the time values of the vehicular telematics data, the plurality of GUI position values and the plurality of corresponding GUI time values defining a GUI value dataset having a second data size, the second data size having a reduced size compared to the first data size, wherein the plurality of GUI position values and the plurality of corresponding GUI time values include at least (1) a first GUI position value and a first GUI time value, and (2) a second GUI position value and a second GUI time value;
• receiving, via a geospatial animation application (app) implementing an interactive animated GUI on a display device, the plurality of GUI position values and the plurality of corresponding GUI time values;
• and
• rendering, via the geospatial animation app implementing the interactive animated GUI, a plurality of geospatial graphics on a geographic area map via the display device, each geospatial graphic corresponding to a GUI position value of the plurality of GUI position values, and each geospatial graphic rendered at a GUI time value corresponding to the GUI position value,
• wherein the interactive animated GUI renders the plurality of geospatial graphics in a chronological order,
• wherein a first geospatial graphic is displayed on the geographic area map at the first GUI position value at the first GUI time value, and wherein a second geospatial graphic is displayed on the geographic area map at the second GUI position value at the second GUI time value, the first geospatial graphic rendered to have a first graphical form, and the second geospatial graphic rendered to have a second graphical form, wherein the first graphic form visually differs from the second graphical form based on differences of the first GUI position value or the first GUI position time value compared with the second GUI position value or the second GUI position time value,
• wherein the interactive animated GUI rendering the plurality of geospatial graphics in the chronologic order on the geographic area map defines an animated graphical representation of the vehicular trip, and
• wherein the interactive animated GUI is operable to provide scrubbed playback rendering of the geospatial graphics via user interaction with the geographic area map.

• wherein the interactive animated GUI renders the plurality of geospatial graphics in a chronological order,
• wherein a first geospatial graphic is displayed on the geographic area map at the first GUI position value at the first GUI time value, and wherein a second geospatial graphic is displayed on the geographic area map at the second GUI position value at the second GUI time value, the first geospatial graphic rendered to have a first graphical form, and the second geospatial graphic rendered to have a second graphical form, wherein the first graphic form visually differs from the second graphical form based on differences of the first GUI position value or the first GUI position time value compared with the second GUI position value or the second GUI position time value,
• wherein the interactive animated GUI rendering the plurality of geospatial graphics in the chronologic order on the geographic area map defines an animated graphical representation of the vehicular trip, and
