2. The Great Subway Map War of 1978
3. Arriving in Berlin
4. Types of maps Go from A to B Visualise information
5. Types of maps “Ten years ago, maps were all about a navigation-use case. We looked at streets, addresses, POIs, maybe a little traffic. That's not true today. Today, it's about imagery, social media, real-time content, and much more. And three years from now, there will be only more data”—especially as location-based sensors increasingly populate the built environment. Marc Prioleau
6. Getting Data
7. Evaluating datasets
8. ParisData: http://opendata.paris.fr/
9. ParisData datasets • Museums 59 elements, 39 kB • Theaters 88 elements, 38 kB • Schools 670 elements, 285 kB • Green spaces 942 elements, 5.9 MB • Addresses 145459 elements, 88.2 MB • ...
10. Yelp & Foursquare
11. OpenStreetMap
12. Buildings
13. Buildings
14. Navitia.io: transportation data
15. General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) Standard format for public transportation data. Zip archive of CSV files: • agency.txt • stops.txt • routes.txt • trips.txt • stop_times.txt • calendar.txt Optional: fares, transfers, shapes (map)
16. Be careful about the licenses Open Database License (ODbL): Constraints: attribute, share-alike (copyleft), keep open Used by: OpenStreetMap, ParisData, Stif Etalab / License ouverte: Constraints: attribute Used by: ParisData License NIO: Constraints: ? Used by: Navitia
17. Putting data on the map
18. AirMapView AirMapView Google Maps Google Maps Web MapBox
19. Data representation: markers
20. Data representation: clusters Good : Bad :
21. Data representation: clusters ClusterManager clusterManager = new ClusterManager<MyItem>(this, getMap()); getMap().setOnCameraChangeListener(mClusterManager); InputStream inputStream = getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.radar_search); List<MyItem> items = new MyItemReader().read(inputStream); mClusterManager.addItems(items);
22. Data representation: areas Standards: • GeoJSON (ParisData) • • • • WKT (Navitia : Stif) • KML (Google Earth)
23. Data representation: GeoJSON try { GeoJsonLayer layer = new GeoJsonLayer(map, new JSONObject("...")); layer.addLayerToMap(); } catch (JSONException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
24. Point inside polygon
25. Data representation: Heatmaps
26. List<LatLng> coordinates = getCoordinatesList(); HeatmapTileProvider provider = new HeatmapTileProvider.Builder() .data(coordinates) .build(); TileOverlayOptions overlayOptions = new TileOverlayOptions().tileProvider(provider); getMap().addTileOverlay(overlayOptions);
28. Heatmap: Isochrone
29. Representation for the amount of data A few Way too much Data points Markers Clusters Heatmaps
