--- tags: notes --- # Cluster 1 Intro to Mapbox (10/12/21) Notes * tutorial in use: * https://dataviztoday.com/mapbox * challenges for future data viz endeavors/tutorials * downloading materials/getting log-in sorted out in advance * getting everyone on board about changes of plans * potential solutions for future data viz endeavors: * smaller datasets to combat connection/data upload issues * instead of uploading data, inputting source ids into mapbox * centralizing all necessary info/websites in advance * tutorial timeline: * uploading data challenges * internet connection challenges * location of a workaround: the source id solution * personal help from Zane makes a big difference in ensuring everyone gets on track with uploading the data via the source id solution * experimentation with styling * Jordan printed out at least one map to hang on the whiteboard * everyone screenshotted where they were at 4:35 and shared that via ll-virtual-studio! * see how this changes over time * more styling fun * sharing via slack! Steps for Tutorial: 1. log into mapbox 2. upload [dataset](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1cDMKpsV_kzYgEPVOjFpv1eSmrDezBWnG) * in new style, layers -> add new layer -> source (non selected menu) -> add source by id -> paste source id: zwolf.ckug6xrj8019l21pgrbmik8rx-64v7u -> zoom into NYC via the search bar! * (this method bypasses the uploading issues + the export to tile set step) 3. style away! Recommendations for future sites Cluster 1 can look at: * datawrapper.de * flourish.studio * tableau Next tutorial ideas: * use data from https://www.hodp.org/data * involve LLUFs! * make harvard-related maps * tours? * location data of people in a group over a certain period of time? *
