Adding Different Types of Data and New Features #14

Open pjuneja81095 opened 6 years ago

It was suggested by professor Aref that we add more data (e.g., elevation data, sewage data, etc.) to incorporate more features into the LIMO web app.

I am currently on the lookout for datasets (elevation, sewage, speed limits, public transportation schedules) that could be incorporated into the LIMO app to add new features. Any ideas/suggestions for potential datasets would be great!

This is certainly related to #5, and would definitely be a good thing. I believe the current data is a partial dataset from here or similar https://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/tiger.html

A good starting point may be investigating these datasets to see if they additional data we want is already there

@pjuneja81095 I am working on a bug related to example 16 (Which does not work in the current release version of LIMO) for my dbAsFunction branch. Can you verify that the indy area is currently included in the db? My calls to get a point representing Indianapolis appear to be failing. This does not have to be done by the 12/1 meeting
