Okay, so today I decided to make a map of all the MLB parks. I’ve always been a huge baseball fan, and I thought it’d be cool to have a visual representation of all the stadiums.
First, I needed to get a list of all the parks. I started by searching and found the imformation.
I was able to make a list of the info include:
- Team Name
- Ballpark Name
- City
- State
After I collected the info, I was trying to figure out what tools to use to show these infomation.
I chose to use a simple tool to create my map. It seemed like the easiest option, and I wanted something I could customize easily.
I started inputting all the data I’d gathered. I created a marker for each stadium, inputting their name, city, and state. The software automatically generated the geographical coordinates, which was super helpful.
It took a little while to get all 30 stadiums entered, making sure I double-checked everything for accuracy. Once that was done, I started playing around with the map’s appearance. I chose a simple, clean style so the markers wouldn’t be too cluttered. I also customized the marker icons, making them little baseballs – because, why not?
After finalize the map, I am very happy to see how it turns out!
