Geocoding

Mohtasim Billah, Sean Cotter, and I worked on the geocoding section. Initially, it just took a location that we gave it fetched it from the server, and outputted to the screen the longitude and latitude coordinates. Testing that the nominatim API gave the correct coordinates so everything later on worked as intended.

How the Current Version Works

Although this is just for testing and not what our final product is going to be outputting, the current version of our geocoding section allows the user to type in an address into the text box and then hit the box next to it for the longitude and latitude coordinates to appear. If there is an error with reading the address the user typed in then that will also appear on the screen.

Possible Changes and Where This is Going

In the future, we no longer want to show the Longitude and latitude on the screen and just want to do all of that in the background. The goal is to take that data and feed it into the OSRM API to do the rest of the project.
