Interactive Mapping with Google API and Shapefiles
This document briefly describes the interactive Google map shown on the Proximity home page with similar view shown at right.
The map shows a portion of the Long Island, NY area with Nassau County unified school district boundaries shown as blue lines.
Operations are the same in both maps. Pan/drag map with the hand tool.
Use the - and + buttons to zoom-out and zoom-in.
Mouse hover on a red marker to view the name and code of the district.
Click a marker to view mini html table.
Click on the link in the mini html table to view a new Web page showing a list of schools in the district.
In the map shown on this page, four additional links provide access to demographic profiles for the district.
The demographic profiles are generated by CommunityViewer school district analysis module in the form of XLS and RTF files.
The mini html table provides a link for each file type. The RTF (rich text file) may be opened with Word, for example, and viewed as a document.
These links illustrate the enabling ability to create and use html and access anything that is html accessible.
Other links and html coding could be added. Click the X by the mini html page to close it.
