Matane, An attractive and lively city!
A web mapping application demo of Matane city.
Demo goal and origin
The goal of this demo is to show the attractions of a city using various navigation methods from using an OpenStreetMap map and a contextual information list. We borrowed a Mapbox tutorial to make this demo using Leaflet.
Features
There are several possible ways to obtain the information:
- Scroll the left list of points of interests down using the mouse or keyboard
- Click on a point of interest on the list or on the map
In the “Maison Horace-Bouffard” description, we also added a link to get the directions from the tourist information office in Matane to that location.
We also added a link on the top of the list that displays a slideshow of pictures dynamically obtained from Flickr using their geolocation and a “matane” search tag.
