![]() I doubt there are too many people who can already lay claim to visiting all fifty, but anyone who can prove so will become an honorary President of the challenge. Īll you need to do is visit each one of the ‘InHab50’ and check if anyone’s home. After visiting Fraoch-Eilean, I’d estimate it has ~7 households, which using the neighbouring Grimsay’s stats as a guide, would equate to ~15 people. * These islands are known to be populated but their resident populations weren’t counted in the last census. You can explore each one via this map and sortable table: There are islands with one occupant (Danna, Eilean dà Mhèinn and Soay) all the way up to the 21000+ on Lewis and Harris – and as the census data is from 2011, one job will be to check if they’re all still inhabited! The ‘A-Z’ is a B-V, from Baleshare off North Uist to Vatersay, south of Barra. After visiting my 13th inhabited Hebridean island, I thought it was high time I put in some research into them – how many are there? How many people live on them? And just how can I visit them all?Įveryone loves a round number, so I was particularly pleased that this challenge involves visiting exactly 50 inhabited Hebrides (the ‘InHab50’). But the sea is never far away on a Hebride and you never know what’s going to get blown in, or if you’ll even make it on or off the island. I feel at home on an island – I suppose that’s because I literally live on one, albeit a rather large one. There’s something about the west coast of Scotland – the wild weather, the white-sand beaches, the wildlife – that when combined with a CalMac journey (and the sense of isolation that brings) creates a wonderful whole. If we run our app, and if everything went fine, we should be able to see a map of San Francisco with 500 markers pointing us to the locations of the fire-incidents.You see, I really love islands – especially the Hebrides. īefore we forget, let’s give height to our div. There’s one more thing we need to add to our index.html file - a container that will hold our map. One thing to keep in mind is that Leaflet CSS comes before Leaflet JS. To start using Leaflet, we need to link Leaflet CSS and Leaflet JS in our head tags. For this, we will create a simple example where we will be setting up a Leaflet map, working with markers, and popups.įirst, let’s create index.html and app.js files in our /project folder and link the latter to our index.html file. Since this is an introductory tutorial, we will only be marking the locations of the fire incidents and display some details about it.īefore jumping into React, let’s understand the basics of Leaflet. Not only did they pinpoint the origin of the fire, but they also showed us the trajectory of it. The San Francisco Chronicle, for example, did a project called the California Fire tracker - an interactive map that provides information on wildfires burning across California, using Leaflet. For additional extensions, it can be extended with a vast amount of plugins.Ī lot of newspapers, including NPR, Washington Post, Boston Globe, among others, and other organizations use Leaflet for their in-depth data projects. Leaflet weighs about 38KB and works perfectly for basic things. All in all, it supports all the primary desktop and mobile platforms. It takes advantage of HTML5 and CSS3 on modern browsers while being accessible on older ones too. In this article, we’re going to represent the locations of the non-medical fire incidents to which the SF Fire Department responded on a map.įor this tutorial, we will be utilizing the following tools:Ī JavaScript library for interactive mapsĪ JavaScript library for building user interfacesĪt about 27k stars, Leaflet.js is one of the leading open-source JavaScript libraries for mobile-friendly interactive maps. Representing the same data in the form of visual aid is simpler. Grasping information from a CSV or a JSON file isn’t only complicated, but is also tedious. #Maptiler static map with a pin how toThis tutorial will help you understand how to create an advanced map along with the help of React and Vanilla JS. Leaflet is a very powerful tool, and we can create a lot of different kinds of maps. ![]()
