Mapty

Mapty is a JavaScript-based web application that allows users to track their cycling and running workouts on a map. It leverages geolocation to pinpoint the user's position and allows for the visualization of workout data such as distance, time, and workout type.

Live Demo

Features

• Track Workouts: Users can log cycling and running data.
• Map Integration: The app displays the workout location using a map.
• Geolocation: Automatically fetches the user's current location for easier tracking.
• Workout Visualization: Workout data, including distance, duration, and type (cycling/running), is presented neatly on the map.
• API Integration: Uses the Geocode.xyz API for reverse geocoding to obtain location details.

Technologies Used

• JavaScript: Core functionality of the app.
• HTML/CSS: For building the structure and styling the interface.
• Geolocation API: Fetches the user's current position.
• Geocode.xyz API: Fetches location details such as address based on geographic coordinates.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• A modern web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, etc.) that supports JavaScript and the Geolocation API.
• Basic knowledge of using Git and GitHub.

Installation

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone 'https://github.com/JS-GodMode/Mapty.git`

2. Navigate to the project directory:

    cd mapty

3. Open the index.html file in your browser.

Usage

1. Grant Location Access: Upon loading the app, it will request permission to access your location. Grant access so the app can center the map on your current location.
2. Log Workouts: Once the map is displayed, click anywhere on the map or use your current location to log a workout. Enter details such as distance, duration, and select whether it is a cycling or running workout.
3. View Workouts: Each logged workout will appear on the map with the location and details. You can view, track, and analyze your activities directly on the map.

API Information

This app uses the Geocode.xyz API to obtain address details based on latitude and longitude. You can sign up for an API key and follow their usage limits as specified in their documentation.

How It Works:

• Geolocation: The app uses the browser's built-in Geolocation API to fetch the user's current coordinates (latitude, longitude).
• Reverse Geocoding: These coordinates are then sent to the Geocode.xyz API to retrieve human-readable address details for the logged workouts.

Project Status

This project is currently in development. Planned future enhancements include:

• Editing and deleting workouts.
• Filtering workouts by type (cycling/running).
• User authentication and saved workout history.
