A mobile first app that allows users to share their real-time geographic positions and get nearby place recommendations based on a user's selected mood.
User latitude and longitude coordinates are pulled in real-time using the HTML Geolocation API. These coordinates are then overlaid as a pointer on an interactive map component that pulls data from the Google Maps API. Requests are sent to the Google Places API every time 1000ft distance is traveled by the user from their previous location. This minimizes the amount of requests needed, while still displaying place information most relevant to the user's current location.
