##Implementation As shown in this repository, this web app was mainly implemented using JavaScript.This web app was implemented using various web technologies and intuition such as:

• JavaScript's Navigator object to determine the user's current location
• Developing an algorithm that generates longitude and latitude coordinates based on the selected method of travel
• Various Google Maps API to set the map, determine the directions from the user's current location to the generated destination, and nearby places at the destination
• Implementation of a marker factory to display the nearby restaurants and stores at the destination location
• HTML5 Web Storage to store information used to store key information between webpages for the session
