Urban-Feat

1. Need custom menu to support both desktop and mobile browsers
   • Using jQuery.browser.mobile script to determine which menu to display before it is sent to user
   • Using Bootstrap for animated drop down menu on mobile browsers
2. Need customers location to query database for nearby venue information
• HTML5 has geolocation API which can get approximate user location
• jQuery gets users location, posts to database, builds query and returns JSON array to Google Maps API to place markers
• Google Maps loads markers with data collected through ajax GET

Users need to be able to easily search for their business

• Google Places Autocomplete API provides us with a geographically bound business search that will try and guess what the user is looking. With a little jQuery, the users are provided a list that is narrowed as they type. Once a location is selected, a marker is added to the map with an info window showing name, address, phone and a button for the user to verify it is their location
• Setting up Android app
• downloaded android developer eclipse ide and setup new project
• figuring out google maps api for android and location api
