User test how well / how easy it is to install and begin to use Web-Map-Custom-Element
This relates to #427, because it should be painless to install and start to use <mapml-viewer> etc., but I won't believe it until we test the theory with real users.
How quickly can you make a map without aggravation, along the lines suggested by this tutorial, from scratch, using this npm package.
Tutorial for npm installation - https://maps4html.org/web-map-doc/docs/installation/
- Tutorial provided on government website fails to load in map (Status Code 404). Most likely due to src link of script tag.
- map-coordinates tag (longitude, latitude) order may be confusing to users since english convention order is flipped (latitude, longitude).
- Standard method to modifying mapml map size should be documented.
As a beginner to HTML I found the tutorial very helpful and easy to follow as first steps into the world of HTML. Some changes I would make to improve the document are; add links to other free HTML resources as mention at the start of the tutorial, and I also find the wording of the document somewhat confusing in some paragraphs. Overall I think the tutorial does its job and taught me, in a simple way, the basics of HTML.
I left some comments in the PDF file for improvements on clarity, but generally, this tutorial should be easy to follow for anyone even if they have no experience with HTML in the past. By the end of this tutorial, they should be able to get an interactive map on their HTML file as shown in the tutorial.
