Today’s tutorial is a quick dive into the world of online mapping. We’re going to bounce in and out of different programs and services to do that, so be prepared to do some account set-ups/downloads. The good news is these all are free. You might get prompted for upgrades and such, but the base-level plans are no cost for small, non-commercial projects.
A basic understanding of HTML is helpful, but not necessary for this. If anything, JavaScript would be good to know; though, really if you’ve done any coding, you’ll know enough to modify the existing code for a functional map.

The point is, I want to be able to play with that data in Processing. The first step is just getting that information into the sketch and mapping it properly. That’s what I’m doing today… I acknowledge that I get fixated on projects with very few practical applications. It’s possible I need to get out more.
