Special Topics, Week 9: Web Applications - Analyze Week - Online Story Map

This week we put our story board plan into action.  Initially, we needed to find images for each of our locations (a full size image and thumbnail for each).  We then needed to edit the CSV template to contain our information, lat and long coordinates, URL links to images and thumbnails, a title and description.

From here, we uploaded the CSV into arcgis.com into a web map.  This automatically placed pin points at each of our locations.  We chose a base map that was appropriate and added an additional layer that pertained to the theme and feel of our story board.

Finally, we needed to edit scripts in the index html and the map configuration.  We needed to make sure the code knew which map we wanted to work with and where it could be found.  The last item was to add the UWF logo to the top right of the map.

I ran into a few issues that were pretty frustrating, but the major roadblock turned out to be an extra "s" in the hyperlink.  With endless troubleshooting and help from the professor, TA and classmates I finally have a rough draft to present.  Here it is.
