The source for my first map was from the blog called "The Sean Effect." What the map shows are the locations across the United States of the fast food restaurant, Subway. This map shows how currently in the United States, Subway has become the number one fast food location with current locations in the United States, beating out other restaurants like McDonalds, Burger King, etc. The type of date that they used for this map was point data as they had to get information of every subway in the United States. Subway has also become my favorite fast food location so to see it beat those hamburger locations, interests me!.
The source for the map was found during a google search here. What this map shows are different dates, starting from June of 2009 where every country in the world was shown to what social media website they used. The map then shows the current year and it shows how the website, facebook has pretty much become the main social networking site for a lot of countries, overlooking their own social networking site. The kind of data that was used to create this map was point data that was being tracked over the course of two years where it shows how facebook has become the top social networking site for a lot of countries.
The source for my last map can be found here. The map shows all the routes and locations for the subway in the city of Paris, France. What I found interesting about it is how color coated everything was in order to find out what line goes where and to make sure you get on the correct train. I found this interesting because i will be going to Paris in december and a map like this would come in handy. The type of resource they used to graph this map were lines. They used lines to map all the subway location around city of Paris so that the people living or people visiting would know what leads to where so they wont get lost or end up somewhere they do not want to be. This map would be a geat tourist help and I can't wait to use it when I go to Paris in December.
