Using the Simulator

To Store Your Simulator Coordinates

Navigate to http://localhost:3000/simulator/store to store coordinates for the routes laid out in utils/DirectionsAPI.js. This will parse the addresses & store an array of route coordinates for the Simulator to run your cars through.

To See Your Simulator Coordinates

Making sure your Firebase & Google Directions API credentials are set up correctly, navigate to http://localhost:3000/simulator/data. This will display all coordinates the simulator will use when running. (If you haven't added custom addresses in DirectionsAPI.js, it will be empty).

To Start Your Simulator

Making sure you have coordinates stored by viewing http://localhost:3000/simulator/data, navigate to http://localhost:3000/simulator/start in your browser & you can now see the coordinates being updated, in real-time, within your firebase database.

Adding Custom Routes with Addresses Near You

• Navigate to /utils/DirectionsAPI.js in your text editor
• Replace the JS Objects in the routesNearHome array with any number of addresses that you want.

I just find nearby addresses, then copy & paste from Google. These addresses are used to create coords from the origin to the destination address. This is what the car travels along, back & forth.
