District Trivia Map

In California, my grad school friends and I got into a bit of a pub trivia kick. We even registered a team with the major trivia company in that area! Now that several of us have moved to the DC area, we still try to keep up with our weekly tradition. I designed this map just for fun as a way to help us choose where to go.

The process for making this map involved:

1. Web scraping the addresses of event locations from the trivia company’s website using XML
2. Geocoding addresses using MapQuest’s API
3. Generating a map using the Leaflet for R library

All of these steps were conducted in R and have been covered in tutorials on my blog.
