What is Zip City?

Zip City is a web app which plots out the zipcodes of any US city pulled from any webpage.

  • Shiny App built in RStudio
  • Uses the Google Maps API

Why?

Do you ever see a list of different addresses on a webpage and would like to see where they are relative to each other without having to enter them one by one in Google Maps?

Well now you can do just that!

Benefits/Limitations

Benefits

  • Saves time as you can plot many addresses at once
  • Can see how many addresses are within the city limits

Limitations

  • Limited to US Cities and zipcodes
  • Plots zipcodes which are approximations to the full address location
  • Shows plots within the map radius which leaves out zipcodes in suburbs

Default Map

The default map shows the zipcodes for Pizza shops in Bellingham (a City north of Seattle close to Vancouver,BC).
