Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Right now, we only store the country and region where an event will happen, and the creator of the event and/or its attendants have to define/agree on where to meet exactly. Having an exact point on the map indicating where the event is would be way more convenient.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like for us to store the latitude and longitude where an event will happen, as that won't only solve the problem described above, but also open a world of possible features to add. For instance, we could display events on a map instead of having a grid of cards (see the suggestion on #21). If we also stored the latitude and longitude of users, for which we could use the Geolocation API, we could for example recommend events to users based on how close they are and/or send reminders on when/how to go to an event (note that some of these would require also storing the latitude and longitude of users). And these are just some quick thoughts! 😄

Describe alternatives you've considered

Keeping the current model.

Additional context

None.

How are we going make the user select the longs and lats?
Should we add a map feature to pin-point the coordinates?

Cheers

Yep, I think adding a map feature to pin-point the coordinates would be the best way! Would you like to try to add that feature? If yes, I'll assign the issue to you!
