Assignment 03 :
Goal: Learn how to generate a Map U/I from dynamic real-time data.
- This assignment may be done alone or in a group of 2
- Use Google Maps v3 (API Reference)
- Embed a Google map into a copy of the webpage from Assignment 2
- Make a copy of the old page and edit the copy so that you don't mess up the grading of Assignment 2
- After your AJAX call returns, collect the geo-data from your data source and plot the geo coordinates onto the map interface next to your table.
- Add links for each element in the table that will center the map on that location when it is clicked.
- Enhance the map in one interesting way of your choice. For example:
- Make different types of locations have different icons on the map
- Program a context-menu at each location upon right-clicking the map icon with relevant options for that location (e.g., Directions to here, Wikipedia links, Flickr Images, etc.)
- Turn in your assignment using the EEE quiz which will have one question for the URL of your webpage
- This is all due Saturday morning at midnight (10/30 12:00am) right right as it becomes Saturday.
