Agenda

• Migrating from Google Maps to Mapbox after incurring charges last month
• Power BI charts discussion continuation

Discussion

• Migrating from Google Maps to Mapbox
  • Mapbox has a higher free tier (50K map views vs. 10K)
  • Converted maps:
    • Main Collections map (e.g. Campus Sustainability Tour map)
    • Main Themes map (e.g. Education & Energy map)
    • Place map (e.g. Illinois Fire Service Institute)
    • Project page mini map (e.g. Civil Infrastructure Systems (CIS))
    • Project large map (e.g. Map for Civil Infrastructure Systems (CIS))
    • Theme page map (e.g. Theme: Zero Waste)
  • Maps not yet converted:
    • Project Collection maps (e.g. Bicycle Related Projects)
    • SSC Project maps (e.g. ACES Farm Drainage Assessment)
    • Power Search: All Places (Map)
    • SSC Projects Embed: SSC Funded Projects & iCAP
  • Feature comparison (each of these features appeared on at least one Google Map previously):
    • Zoom in/out buttons: Yes
    • Full-screen button: No; is this important?
      • Yes, if easy
    • Camera controls (i.e. pan up/down/left/right): No; is this important?
      • No
    • Added scale component in lower-left; should we keep it?
      • Yes
    • Custom layer settings hiding various places of interest like businesses, attractions, parks, places of worship, and medical facilities): No; is this still important?
      • Yes, if easy
    • Map vs. Satellite
      • Yes, if easy
• Power BI charts discussion continuation
  • Example Power BI embed (still a work in progress)
  • Power BI only supports embedding entire project, not individual sub-pages. Options:
    • ✅ Create separate report for each metric graph (i.e. each individual bicycle & pedestrian counter + summary report for each type of counter)
    • ❌ Create page in report for each counter location; start each embed on corresponding page (users can switch pages - may be confusing)
  • Question: do we need individual reports for each bike/pedestrian counter location, or is summary report for each sufficient?
    • Summary report for each is enough - we can cut out dozens of individual metrics! 🥳

TODOs

• Maps:
  • Finish migrating to Mapbox
  • Investigate adding full-screen button
  • Investigate custom layer settings hiding various places of interest like businesses, attractions, parks, places of worship, and medical facilities)
  • Investigate adding Map vs. Satellite switcher
• Power BI:
  • Investigate making charts responsive
  • Create Bicycle Counter report with all bicycle counter data sources
  • Create Pedestrian Counter report with all pedestrian counter data sources
  • Add "Get Data" link to metrics to link to CSV(s) for a given report
