Google fushion table:

MapMe:
Marking the same data set on different software, I found out different tradeoffs from Google fushion table, BatchGeo and Mapme.
Google fushion table has more freedom in terms of filtering out the actual information we need. Also there are some features that we can self custom, such as the color of the point, shape and also the column that needs to be mapped on.
BatchGeo:
BatchGeo is an easy and fast operated mapping software. An easy process of data import can help user complete a standard point map. Nevertheless, the features that user can change due to self-need is sort of limited and photos cannot be added on in the data profile.
Mapme has an easier and clear layout that the software itself has designed for us. Few essential features are listed on the left side. User can add in data point one at a time if it’s a small dataset and just needs to type in the information as well as pictures that needs to be presented. User can also import data directly, whereas the software takes time to read the data smartly.
Doris, you completed the assignment and created three point maps with your community partner data, which is great. In the future, Veronica and I encourage you to run the text of your posts through MS Word spell and grammar checker, or use a web tool such as Grammarly, to fix small errors.
