Project 1
Full Project
See Full Map Customized for Disruptive Technologies Class, Project 1. This links to an outside web page because it was the deliverable portion of my project. (The link is necessary because the Google My Maps application will only list up to 100 elements--like shading areas that I used to indicate my locations each minute and placemarks with photos of locations and indications of the strength of wireless signals along the route--on each page. My map has about 125; in order to see all of them, viewers must switch between the two pages.)
