Map of the Week:
Made in NY
Digital Map
Why we like it:
A beautiful visualization of tech companies in New York City, which uses
Styled Maps
and our
Marker Clusterer library
. Also, this is the first map to come to us directly from New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg (perhaps as a result of
his pledge to learn code in 2012
:)!
This week’s ‘Map of the Week’ comes to us directly from New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg! On Tuesday at
Internet Week New York
, Mayor Bloomberg released
Made in New York
as a resource for job seekers. The map is a visualization of the city’s tech startups that connects jobs seekers with job listings.
To help users better visualize all the data on the map,
Marker Clusterer
is used to group together a collection of points that are in close proximity to each other. The resulting clusters are color coded by the number of listings that they contain, and a
Styled Map
is used to make the data stand out better.
At launch
Made in New York
contains more than 500 companies. Of those companies, about 325 are currently hiring. You can sort the map by digital companies, investors, and co-working/incubator spaces
Mayor Bloomberg has high hopes for this Google Map. At the conference Bloomberg stated “We expect this map to be another tool that helps propel our tech industry forward.” With a map as beautifully designed as
Made in New York
, good things are sure to follow.
