Project: Excursion Planner with "Tinder-like" Approach and Route Length Calculation

This project is an interactive excursion planning tool that uses a "Tinder-style" swipe approach to select locations of interest. The route is dynamically calculated based on user selections, factoring in route length and efficiency. The application is designed to provide a seamless and engaging way to explore predefined locations or custom maps.

3. Predefined Map Data:
   Includes a set of sample coordinates for location cards available in JSON format:
   Map Coordinates JSON

4. Custom Maps:
   Users can upload their own map data in JSON format and define custom names for their uploaded maps:

How It Works

1. Load Map Data:

   • By default, the app uses a predefined JSON file with sample coordinates.
   • Users can upload their custom JSON map data.

2. Swipe to Select Locations:

   • Swipe cards to choose which locations you want to include in the excursion.

3. Calculate Route:

   • After finalizing the selection, the app calculates the shortest route based on the chosen locations.
   • The route length and estimated travel time are displayed to the user.

4. Redirect to Visualize Route:

   • The map dynamically updates to highlight the chosen route and stops.
