Shiny app for San Diego coast bacterium counts with Leaflet

 I created another Shiny app. I took for it the same data from San Diego coast stations with counts of unhealthy bacteria which I already used in one of my previous posts. This time a map is interactive.


The map can be moved with a mouse, as any Google map. Using +/- sign it can be zoomed in or out.
You can see marked measuring stations. One can hover a mouse over each and see the station name and averaged amount of measured bacterium count. A bigger size of the mark corresponds to a greater bacterium level. The stations are colored by their groups. Unfortunately I do not know what the group abbreviations mean. On the left one can filter data for a particular kind of contamination, measuring method and choose a whole year or dry or wet season. Not all stations have all measurements, and it shows. The website for the app is below.

Advantages of Shiny apps are the following:

1) The whole might of R can be used, which means more diverse tools.

2) There are more options (comparatively with Tableau and Power BI) over a Shiny website appearance.

3) It allows quick and easy result sharing for R developers.
