Exercise

Initializing Maps

In this set of exercises, you will create interactive maps to visualize New York Citi bike trips. You will use the ny_bikedata dataset, which includes the number of trips starting and ending at each station (start_count and end_count) for 8 days, along with the station coordinates.

In this exercise you will initialize a map. In the next exercise, you will add points on top of it to map the coordinates of the bikes stations.

Note that:

rbokeh and dplyr are pre-loaded
ny_bikedata dataset is available in this session
