Faculty App with Location Information
I have created a modified version of the faculty_data.json file that we used in the last assignment.
This file is named faculty_data_map.json and is located at: http://apps.kalifner.com/faculty/faculty_json_map.json (Links to an external site.)
This JSON file is exactly the same as the one we have been using with the exception that I have added location information to each faculty member.
Three key/value pairs have been added to each faculty member’s information. This information represents the faculty member’s location in the U.S.
Here is an example of the keys, which should be self explanatory.
“city”: “San Francisco”,
“latitude”: “37.7811”,
“longitude”: “-122.4625”,
You may use this information in any way you wish to extend the Faculty App. At a minimum, you should display the faculty member’s location in a Map. But consider using other API functions to make it more interesting :)
You decide where you want to add this to the current App and add whatever other functionality you wish — the Maps API is very powerful and contains all sorts of bells and whistles.
