When mapping multiple locations such as stores, you typically organize your data in a structure like an array of objects, where each object contains the store's name, address, and coordinates. This makes it easy to loop through the list and add a marker for each store on the map. Each marker can display a popup with details about the store, improving navigation and helping users find information quickly. By showing both a map and a list of stores side-by-side, you make it easier for users to locate stores visually and access their details. Enhancing user navigation often involves clear marker placement, informative popups, and a clean layout that connects the map and store list.

When building a store locator map, what is a common way to display information about each store?

Create interactive and visually engaging maps using Leaflet.js. Learn how to set up maps, add markers, customize tile layers, and design custom icons. Apply your skills through practical mini projects such as store locators, route maps, and event maps.

Learn how Leaflet.js creates interactive maps and how to set up your first map environment. Work with basic features like markers and tile layers to build a functional foundation before adding more customization.

Customize your maps with different tile layers and professionally styled markers. Add visual variety, switch between map styles, and create unique icons that match your project’s theme.

Apply your knowledge through practical mapping projects. Build real-world interfaces such as store locators, route maps, and event maps that demonstrate how Leaflet.js brings geographic data to life.
