fork n go # Fullscreen Map from Spreadsheet This creates a website with a fullscreen map of points from a Google Spreadsheet with latitude and longitude columns. - View the sample [site](http://jlord.github.io/mappy). - View the sample [spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/a/github.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0Ao5u1U6KYND7dGN5QngweVJUWE16bTRob0d2a3dCbnc). ![screenshot](mappy-ss.png) ## Fork and Make Your Own! 1. **Fork this project** (hit that button at the ⤴︎ top right). 2. Create a **new Google spreadsheet** with at least these two columns: - `lat` - `long` 4. Set your spreadsheet's **share** setting to "anyone with the link can **view**" 5. Click File -> **Publish to the web** -> Start Publishing and copy the URL it gives you. 6. **Give your spreadsheet some data**! 7. Back in GitHub, on your fork's page (it should be github.com/yourusername/mappy), **edit the `index.html` file** by clicking the file name to view the file and then 'edit' to make changes. You must change: - The `URL` variable on **line 26** to the key (or full URL) from your spreadsheet. - On **line 32** replace `["placename", "photo-url"]` with column headers from your spreadsheet that you'd like to use in your map marker's popup. - If you don't want a popup, delete **lines 32 and 34**, and change **line 41** to `Sheetsee.addMarkerLayer(geoJSON, map)`. 8. If you want to change more things, go for it and checkout the comments in the file for suggetions. 9. **Commit your changes**. At the bottom of the page your editing on, click the green commit button. 10. **View your page!** Visit: `yousername.github.io/mappy` to see your page, live! ### What else? Here are some other things you may want to do. - **Change your repository's name**. Because maybe 'mappy' isn't right for you. Click the Settings icon on your fork's GitHub page to change the name. - Add a **custom domain**. If you don't like the default github.io/repo naming scheme, you can use a custom domain that you own. Here are [instructions](https://help.github.com/articles/setting-up-a-custom-domain-with-github-pages) on how. - **Change map tiles!** You can design your own with Mapbox [here](https://www.mapbox.com/editor/).
