Thoughts on Maps

My thinking about what to display in the "general" map view:

Locations

The primary focus will be locations I think as far as marker placement goes. So I can imagine:

• Markers and Clusters
  • Markers indicate locations and clusters when number of markers in region exceeds x.
• Marker Content (Load on click?)
  • Location Name
  • lat, lng (is this useful to most people?)
  • Count totals grouped by:
  • Total all counts here
  • Total bikes counted
  • Total Pedestrians counted
  • Total Other counted
• Marker Color (This is aspirational)
  • color choice would be based on the mean counts of all locations in the current view
  • Low counts = Blue marker
  • Medium counts = Green marker
  • High counts = Red marker

    templating

This is how I imagine the map display template looking:

<script type="text/javascript" >
    createMap();
    {% for loc in locatons %}
        setMarker({{loc.lat}}, {{loc.lng}},{options?});
    {% end for %}
    zoomToFitAllMarkers();
</script>

Issue with the map display. If there is a location without Latlng data, the map does not display at all. Probably an error trying to evaluate undefined.
