Searchable point and polygon layer map template, with sortable list results, using Google Maps and Fusion Tables
Use this template if you wish to create a Search-and-Filter map that turns on/off at least 2 layers (points and polygons), displays results in a sortable list, and draws data from Google Fusion Tables. The default point map displays a textual legend (A, B, C), with option to switch to numeric (0-100) values. Also, thematic polygon layers may be turned on/off in the background. Based on template customized by Derek Eder http://derekeder.com/searchable_map_template/

##To Do Update this template from Derek Eder's most current version
##Create your own with this template
See tutorial in Fusion Tables template section of Data Visualization for All book at http://DataVizForAll.org
General steps:
-
Use Google Fusion Tables to create your point layer (all types in one table), and set the feature styles (set ranges, colors, etc.) and info windows.
-
Use Google Fusion Tables to create your polygon layers (each layer in its own table), and set feature styles (thematic shading, etc.) and info windows
-
Make your own copy of this template: either Fork to your own GitHub account, or Clone in Desktop, or Download a ZIP compressed version to your desktop.
-
Modify two files, following instructions in the code comments, to match your Google Fusion Tables:
- index.html (to toggle between map and sortable list) or index_both.html (to display both at same time)
- maps_lib.js (located inside the js folder)
TO DO document steps in the display table results section of the code
- Host everything on the web (such as a GitHub repository gh-pages branch)
Coming soon: display dynamic polygon legend, similar to http://chicagobuildings.org/
