Version in video is completely different than the version online that has a different interface and does not offer all the options as shown in the video. Even tried to do this on the desktop version and no go. Also, couldnt get the geojson file to link as every possible option errored out. Total wast of the last two hours struggling to get it to work and only got as far as getting the SF Parks and Rec layer added. I would give it no stars if I could.
