Doors Open TO (so quiet in here)

[Richard Weait]

Hiya,

So who wants to do something cool with the Doors Open data?  Has everybody taken the summer off? :-)

[Michael Fagan]

Okay, I did. not coo, but it is a map http://faganm.com/blog/2013/05/24/1104/

Also includes steps to make it

No, it doesn't use openstreetmap. I was being lazy

[Jeremy Albisser]

If there's any interest in it I'll update it with geo locating and search but it's not worth the time if nobody will look at it, like last time.  If the hit count is significant LMK and I'll put in the time.

By 'geo locating' I'm assuming you mean latitude on longitude? I'm not sure what you mean by 'search', if you're talking about the data file. Or did you mean the actual open doors website?

As to the hit count, I'm not sure that I'm really keeping track of that. Other than having google analytics on my blog.

Er, ignore most of my comments... I'd incorrectly assumed you were working for the city.

Hi,

Here's instructions for using the GPS - based smartphone Doors Open location finder:

1. Layar app
2. Select Geolayers
3. Search 'doto'
4. Pan phone for 50 closest sites + links.

Hopefully the instructions will appear here soon:

For Toronto Public Library locations, step 3 is 'tpl'.

Regards,

That's great... but not everyone has a smartphone and wants to do all that downloading and such, or you just might want to see the map on a bigger screen than one that fits in your pocket. So it would be nice if they linked to the one I made as well (or another web-based one, if there is one).

Certainly true.  I like the way you colour-coded the pins, I didn't really get that far --
