Get your own copy of finda

Fork via Github

Add your data

Finda can only read data formatted as geojson. If your data is on some other format (excel file, csv) you will need to convert it before using Finda.

To edit the data in Finda open the data.geojson file.

The geojson specification requires that objcts be stored in a FeatureCollection. An empty FeatureCollection looks like this:

{ "type": "FeatureCollection", "features": [] }

Open the data file

Paste.

Replace the data with your own

Replace the brackets [] with your own list of datapoint. Datapoint in geojson should look like this:

{ "type": "Feature", "geometry": { "type": "Point", "coordinates": [-72.6411923, 42.3250492] }, "properties": { "property1": ["apples", "oranges"], "property2": "no dogs allowed, "property3": 14 } }

Replace the data with your own 2
