Idea:

• The app takes the IP address of the user and finds the nearest landmarks

• Displays the landmarks and asks user to choose some to visit

• Marks the most popular landmarks to give users an idea of good places to visit

• Tells the user what the city is famous for

• Utilises ChatGPT to generate details about the location to present to the user

• Provides an option to allow users to explore other places even if they are not at the location

• Merges map-based choosing along with location search

• When you are in a place, it allows users to create their own checklist with different places to visit and check them off when visited

Installation:

• Create a .env file in the project's root directory, and in the file, add the following credentials:

GOOGLE_API_KEY = "<your google api key>"
OPENAI_API_KEY = "<your openai api key>"
MONGO_LINK = "<the connection string to your mongodb cluster>"

• Navigate into the api directory with the following command:

cd api

• Optional: If you would like to use a Python virtual environment for the next step, run the following commands:

  • Windows:

  python -m venv .venv
  .venv\Scripts\activate

  • MacOS/Linux:

  python3 -m venv .venv
  . .venv/bin/activate

• Run the following commands to start the API:

pip install -r requirements.txt
flask run

• Open a new terminal in the same project directory, and start the Flutter app with the following commands:

cd src
flutter run --dart-define GOOGLE_API_KEY=<your google api key>

Note: Choose the android emulator from the options that appear when the flutter run command is executed
