About the FanMap

Who do you want to win the 2012 NHL hockey playoffs for the Stanley Cup? Vote for your favorite teams and share the map with your friends.

This application is powered by ArcGIS Server. It uses the ArcGIS JavaScript API as the client.

Basemap

This basemap provides a neutral backdrop for thematic maps like the FanMap. The map allows the key information to come to the foreground while the rest of the map provides simple geographic context. Administrative boundaries and major water features help create that context along with city boundaries and labels. Certain college basketball towns and cities have label priority in this map. The projection used is Winkel-Tripel centered on North America.

Layers

Graduated circles are used to represent the current vote totals and trends by postal code. Color and size are assigned based on dominant vote totals per postal code.

Application

Millions of people watch the tournament on TV and in person. Die-hard fans are wearing their favorite team’s gear, and hanging their flag outside their homes. These programs have strong followings locally and, in some cases, across the country, but where exactly does each team dominate?
