Your Task

Level 1: Basic Visualization

Your first task is to visualize an UFO sightseeing data set.

  1. Get your data set : attached
  2. Import & Visualize the Data Create a map using Leaflet that plots all of the UFO sightseeing from your data set based on city and state

Level 2: More Data 

Plot a second data set on your map to illustrate the relationship between military base locations and UFO sightseeing locations. You will need to pull in a second data set and visualize it along side your original set of data. Data on military base locations is attached. 

  • Plot a second data set on our map.
  • Add a number of base maps to choose from as well as separate out our two different data sets into overlays that can be turned on and off independently.
  • Add layer controls to our map.
    • Your data markers should reflect the location of the UFO sightseeing in their size and color. UFO sight seeing with more frequency should appear larger and darker in color.
    • Include popups that provide summary about the UFO sightseeing from the report when a marker is clicked.
    • Create a legend that will provide context for your map data.
    • Your visualization should look something like the map above.

Assessment

Your final product will be assessed on the following metrics:

  • Completion of assigned tasks
  • Visual appearance
  • Professionalism
