Developing Data Products-Week 2-Assignment

My First Map

Let’s create a map that shows the Tour Eiffel in Paris.

To do that, let’s first load the library Leaflet.

installed.packages("leaflet")

##      Package LibPath Version Priority Depends Imports LinkingTo Suggests
##      Enhances License License_is_FOSS License_restricts_use OS_type Archs
##      MD5sum NeedsCompilation Built

library(leaflet)

Create the map of Paris

my_map <- leaflet() %>%
addTiles()

Create a link to the office site of Eiffel Tour, which we could get relevant information.

EiffelTour <- c("<a href= 'http://www.toureiffel.paris' >Eiffel Tour</a>")
leaflet() %>%
addTiles() %>%
addMarkers(lat=48.858053, lng=2.294289, popup = EiffelTour)

Now if we click the blue icon on the map, it will display Eiffel Tour and the link.
