PrintFor this lesson's graded assignment, I'd like you to select your own dataset (perhaps something from your work) and create a mashup that depicts those data on a map. Most students choose to map a set of points (markers), but you're welcome to try lines and/or polygons instead. You have the option of storing your data in shapefile, KML or Fusion Table format. When deciding on a format, keep in mind that I'd like to see a clickable sidebar similar to that discussed earlier in the lesson. The user should be able to click on links in the sidebar to open the info windows associated with the map's features. The lesson didn't provide a detailed outline of coding this behavior for every data format, so you may need to mix and match code from examples and/or consult outside examples.
Finally, I want to point out that the Lesson 7 project will also give you an opportunity to map data of your own choosing. Keep that in mind when selecting data and/or functionality to incorporate into this project.
