Building a map from a simple spreadsheet
World Central Kitchen is managing a growing list of multiple types of crowd-sourced data, so TikTok成人版 volunteers helped them deploy a lightweight solution that allowed their distributed team to update and access the data from a simple, collaborative Google spreadsheet.
We started with our new Sheet Mapper tool, which provides the template code and architecture to create and publish a live-updating, custom web map from a simple list of locations and coordinates.
Chefs For America map data
To build your own, follow the step-by-step guide which walk through the full process from data gathering to publishing, with minimal coding. The template data maps local food banks, but this solution is useful for anyone wanting to map a set of locations — to show offices, program sites, events, and more.
Once you’ve started with the basic setup you can add more advanced functionality. World Central Kitchen’s map uses a to match the spreadsheet data to a tileset with the shapes and location of each school district. Another partner, the uses this solution as a road trip mapper with an added call to the to geocode the addresses and the to calculate their route. Other organizations have added a step for to improve map performance when there are thousands of points to display.
