If you want to include a map on your calendar page, the with-map branch has it all set up for you.
For more on using Sheetsee.js to generate maps, read the documentation.
Geocoding is turning addresses (i.e. "Sydney, Austrailia" or "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue") into lattitude and longitude coordinates (i.ee "49.560, 12.089").
Most map providers require you to sign up for a special key to be able to use their geocoding services. There are a couple slightly easier ways to do it without a key.
- Find the lat/long coordinates yourself. You can add a 'lat' and a 'long' column to your sreadsheet and manually add the coordinates yourself from typing the address into a site like latlong.net.
- Use MapBox's city-level Geocoder Plugin MapBox has a Google Spreadsheet plugin that creates an extra 'Geo' menu at the top of your spreadsheet. With this you can select a column of addresses and geocode them to the city-level (not street-level). When selecting a geocoding service, choose MapQuest and you can leave the API key field blank.
- Note: sheetsee.js accepts columns named: latitude, longitude; lat, long; geo_longitude, geo_latitude.
