@iamareebjamal @aggarwalpulkit596 I think this is a good feature. Can I take up this one ?

Go ahead

@iamareebjamal I have seen MapBox is used in OpenEvent , MapBox also provides PlaceAutoComplete.
Plus Point : It works on both Fdroid and Play Version. That is no play services is required .
No different build configuration is used
So should I use MapBox or have to use Google's one .

[iamareebjamal]

MapBox is used in OpenEvent

OpenEvent what? Frontend? Backend? Orga app? This app?

[RotBolt]

In Android OpenEvent-Android . There is MapBox Key

@iamareebjamal can i re open this and implement autocomplete for playstore only?

[iamareebjamal]

It's better to use MapBox autocomplete API rather than closed source google place
