The Seed Project is in the /assignment directory of the Week 1 repo. Open the index.html file. Take a look at the text between the second set of <script> tags—this is the Javascript code we will be editing for this assignment.
The part of the code that adds a marker looks like this: L.marker([50.5, 30.5]).addTo(map);. The 50.5, 30.5 part refers to a set of coordinates: latitude and longitude (lat, lng).
In our class, we'll learn a number of ways to find coordinates for a location that we want to map. An easy way to do this for a single address is to use Google Maps. Check out these instructions to Get the coordinates of a place.
Add two additional markers to your map. These two markers should be two additional places where you like to eat food.
To add an additional marker, copy the code you used to create the first marker onto the next line. Change the coordinates for your new markers. When you are finished, save your file and reload the browser. You should see three markers.
In this class, we are using a Javascript library called Leaflet to handle mapping in the browser. You can check out the Leaflet Docs to get an idea of what it can do.
