Maps

Here are some studies of Maps and Data-Binding. The interactive products below use HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and JQuery. I am also exploring ArcGIS and their suite of tools. Additional technologies are listed under each item.

Credits – I have also used the following Maptiles (from Open Street Maps Contributors) and Code Libraries: Leaflet.js (created by Vladimir Agafonkin) and D3.js (created by Mike Bostock). Note: D3 works with modern browsers; therefore, it does not work with Internet Explorer (IE) 8 and below.

  • Map of France
    • Uses D3, TopoJson, Tooltip, and Toggles in the Legend
    • Shows Places of Interest in France
  • Illuminated Coasts: Lighthouses of Albania
    • Applying a mapping tutorial to Albania, the map uses Python, Geopandas, Matplotlib, Osmnx, and Shapely. Other features available in OSM
    • Shows Lighthouses along the coast of Albania
  • Map with a Before and After View
    • Uses REST, Web Map Services (WMS), Map Tiles, and the Leaflet Library
    • Map Source: Open Street Maps
  • Map with Different Styles
    • Uses REST, Web Map Services (WMS), Map Tiles, and the Leaflet Library
    • Map Source and Map Styles: Open Street Maps
  • Map with Clusters
    • Uses the Leaflet Library and customized Clusters
    • Map Source: Open Street Maps
  • Maps using GeoJson data format, REST Services, USGS’s API, and AJAX Queries
    • REST Services (#1): uses REST Services
      • Pulls data weekly from USGS using REST Services
      • In other words, when the Audience opens the webpage, the dataset is automatically updated straight from USGS’s server every time when the webpage opens.
    • Map with REST Services and Clusters (#2)
      • Similar to Map (#1) with the difference that the Data is clustered (using the Leaflet JQuery Library) to simplify the Visualization
      • It uses a different basemap called Open Street Maps: Topo
    • Maps similar to Map (#1) with the added feature of the data being filtered in three different ways
  • Choropleth Map
    • Uses D3, TopoJson, and Tooltip
    • Choropleth shows different ranges of data (e.g. land mass in square miles)
