My final prototype is a basic MVP of the map I’m designing. It is live on vanlifezone.com/map and contains some basic layers and designs that I’ve integrated.
As it is with most projects when you don’t know much about the topic in the beginning, this was no easy feat and it took a lot of learning along the way. Mapping is so much more complicated than I’ve ever anticipated: Some things that you’d think are tricky are just a few lines of code away, while other things, like displaying icons on the map, require a week of research and coding (and arguing with ChatGPT) to get right. Nevertheless, I’m still super interested in continuing the development of this map, as it combines creativity, data, and coding – a combination I’m passionate about.
