User:Eleni/Special Issue 25/Soundmap

From XPUB & Lens-Based wiki
change of plans

The idea for this project came to me after taking part in the second Broadcast on Radio Worm, for the Special Issue 25. We had collected so many field recordings from all around the city of Rotterdam, and I wanted to create a dynamic archive centered around them. Coinsidentally, in the same month I came across this tutorial on how to make a DIY soundmap . Everything clicked in my mind and I started the project as a past time in October.

With the help of Sevgi and Imre, as well as the content that the PZI crowd provided, it turned into something much bigger! 💕

Initial Version

At first, I thought this project would be as simple as following this tutorial: [1]

Steps taken

  1. Signed up to UMAP and created a new map
  2. Customized the map, centered it on Rotterdam
  3. Created a csv file on cerealbox, where the data would go
  4. Linked the csv file to the UMAP
  5. Created HTML page on the cerealbox and embeded the map

Result

Next Steps:

Scrapped the whole thing, unfortunately. I started from scratch, following this documentation: OpenLayers Simple Example
and then moved on to leafletjs.com

Version 2
