Overview
Goal: Make it easier to share a link to a specific location on the map
Why:
On Google Maps (on the web), as one pans around and zooms, the URL itself updates automatically.
This allows people to easily share what they’re looking at with someone else. The URL, when opened, takes the recipient directly to the view that the sender was looking at. This URL can also be bookmarked.
Could we do something similar for Food Oasis?
This may also be useful for centering embedded maps — allowing an organization to choose a center and display a specific location upon loading.
Embedded maps may be harder to share as the URL is not exposed to the user, so in that case, perhaps a ’share’ button?
Example URL from Google Maps:
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Panorama+City,+Los+Angeles,+CA/@34.229513,-118.4658597,14z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x80c2912cd03ee619:0x72095a64529a613c!8m2!3d34.2215391!4d-118.4487995!16zL20vMDI4NXA5?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MDkxMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D
