IDAT209 - GPS - Final Project Part 1

The main thing that stuck out in my mind from the walkthrough was of people thoughts, mainly their opinions & feelings whilst they walked through the site. So I thought I would explore this option for my final project.
I could then use their GPS routes to show different people’s opinions each of each place. I think this would show quite a personal feel to the Stonehouse area.
So I asked 3 of my friends to walk through my site, Union St with a piece of GPS tracking equipment. I have then summed them up into 5 different locations throughout my site. Before they set out I gave them 3 different words to use for each location to make things simpler to express. The results are as follows...
