Earthquake Mapper is an earthquake data visualisation tool built during my third year at Coventry University for the 300CEM module. It contains two major ways to visualise earthquake data:

• Marker Mode - Place markers of varying sizes on the location of each earthquake.
• Heat map Mode - Generate a heat map to effectively view the concentration of earthquakes.

• Marker visualisation
  • Customisable focused/unfocused coloured markers
  • Restrict the amount of earthquakes processed
  • Focus on the current earthquake
  • Move to next earthquake (Chronological order)
  • Move to previous earthquake (Reverse chronological order)
  • Mark my current location (Using the devices' GPS)
  • Shake the device to move to a random earthquake
• Heat map visualisation
  • Mark my current location (Using the devices' GPS)
  • Restrict the amount of earthquakes processed
• Database
  • Asynchronous auto updating database (Using the USGS web api)
  • Only contains the most significant earthquakes from 1950 to the present day (Currently about 20,000)

To run the testing:

• Import the project into Android Studio
• Right click on 'app/java/lee.james.earthquakemapper (androidTest)'
• Click run tests in this folder
