Interactive Map
This interactive map shows the highest points in every state in the USA. Clicking on each dot will show you the name of the highest point and the elevation. A picture and date are also displayed for the high points that I have hiked to. Currently, I have hiked to 8 of the 50 highest points.
To create this interaction, I found a map of the United States on Wikimedia Commons, a map of the highest points and a list of the highest points in each state. Creating the design was pretty easy. I used blue dots for locations I have not hiked to yet and green dots for locations I have hiked to. I used a call-out bubble to create the pop-up box and a text box with the highest point name and elevation. For locations I have hiked to, I also included the date and a picture. The baselayer includes the map, location dots, title and key. I created a layer for each state that included a call-out bubble, textbox and a picture (for the locations I have hiked to). The baselayer has a trigger to show a particular layer when a dot is clicked. That layer then has a trigger to hide the layer when the user clicks outside of the call-out bubble. Feel free to download and use my Storyline file. |
