Chapter 6
This chapter focused on explaining how to create a dashboard web app and looked at spatiotemporal data and real-time GIS. I vaguely knew of what these terms mean but I still always think it is so crazy how easy it is now to get real-time data. I always find it interesting to see how GIS can be found in real life settings and events. In the first half of this chapter it goes over how to create a dashboard that shows 911 calls along with incident reports. I found the way this information was laid about to be very engaging but I did find it a little overwhelming as I was having issues with sizing the map. The rest of this chapter was easy to follow and showed how to create a time-enabled feature layer along with how to animate time-series data.
For this chapter I think for this I would want to make an application that involves creating a dashboard to look at specific crime incidents in Delaware.
