Create Geographic Map
- Install Figmap plugin in Figma.
- Go through Figmap to render the map -- you will need to upload the GPX file.
Create Custom Location Markers
- Design custom markers based on the new data outputs you derived from the last exercise.
- Create custom markers in Figma as components.
- Replace Default Figmap marker with custom markers.
Analyze Geographic Map
- Analyze the geographic map for spatial findings, annotating your map as necessary.
- Iterate on your geographic map if you would like to build more information in for better analysis (encouraged).
If you would prefer to create a geographic map with a different workflow (QGIS, MapBox, Google Maps, Illustrator, etc.) feel free to do so. The above is designed to be no-code for those who do not want to get into HTML / CSS / Javascript, but the tooling can be tedious as the dataset size increases.
If you would prefer to visualize your data in a representation that is not geographic (some examples below), please talk to the instructor.
