Mrinmayee Status Report 4/2

This week I worked on learning about the google maps api. Together with Kanvi, we now have a google cloud account with our project. Specifically, we will be using the geolocation api to help give our users directions from their current location to their inputted destination. This api also helps us incorporate traffic information and more proper distance metrics (instead of just using euclidean distance). I will keep looking into this over next week. I hope to have tracking the user location on our web app for the interim demo. Lastly, we have successfully built our spot module. So, I will help the team with field testing tomorrow.
