The goal of this repo will be to hopefully produce a map that shows the correlation (if any) between the number of fast food outlets and BMI in America, this will be a quick and dirty project just to visualize the data available. Feel free to jump in and make any suggestions and/or comments to improve its function and usefulness. Note that you can check my progress through http://fastfood.jabulmer12.com/ Regards: James B
- Check that the raw data matches the expected structure
- Create a basic Google map (or openmap) with relevant jquery plugins
- Display all stores on the map and check for errors
- Display population data on the map and check for errors
- Create a better method to view the data (county colouring, search functions ,ect)
- Spell check every thing
Some basic info on the data used, this includes information such as date of collection and total number of features. If any one can find data on other food chains then please let me know
