For this phase of project three, in Special Topic in
GIS, we were tasked with exploring the workings of a story map. A story map is a map that uses
text, multimedia, and other interactive functions, to inform, entertain, and
inspire viewers about a topic.
I intend to create a
story map that shows eleven points of interest within Okaloosa County,
Florida. Originally, it was to be
“points of interest in my town”; however, living in Holt, Florida that would be
Brown’s Gas Station, a church, and an abandoned elementary school. So, I expanded the area to include Okaloosa
County. I plan on starting with a base
map of the area and show the location of the points of interest with configured
pop-up icons Once the user clicks on the
icon, it will show a brief description, with a prompt for a more detailed
description, such as address, schedule of events, hours of operation, or menu
depending on the location. I do not plan
to have a route or tour of the sites, but by individualizing the icons, the
user should be able to click on the location of interest and find all related
information with a few clicks of the mouse.
