Visualizing public data with Google Maps and Fusion Tables
Blog post from Google Cloud
Aurelio Tinio of The Bay Citizen, a nonprofit news organization, discusses the use of Google Maps and Google Fusion Tables to visualize public data, specifically through their Bike Accident Tracker. This tool displays accident data relevant to the San Francisco Bay Area community by integrating Google Maps with Fusion Tables, allowing users to filter data using SQL-like syntax. The Bay Citizen leverages the Django framework and Google-provided Python libraries for query generation and API calls to streamline the data processing and visualization. The code provided helps set up a local version of the accident map, while the public nature of the data allows others to create and enhance their own versions of the map interface. Tinio invites collaboration and feedback from developers who might build upon or improve the existing design.
