Map and Navigation Page

This document aims to define the functionality and structure required to develop a Map and Navigation Page in a web application. The Map and Navigation Page integrates map functionalities and provides users with navigation features.

Overview​

The Map and Navigation Page serves as a platform for users to interact with maps, view locations, get directions, and utilize navigation functionalities within the application.

Components​

The Map and Navigation Page will consist of the following components:

MapDisplayComponent​

  • Displays an interactive map interface using a mapping library (e.g., Google Maps, Mapbox).
  • Shows geographical locations, markers, and provides navigation controls.

LocationSearchComponent​

  • Includes a search bar or input field allowing users to search for specific locations or addresses on the map.

DirectionsComponent​

  • Provides functionalities for users to get directions from one location to another.
  • Offers options for selecting transportation modes (e.g., driving, walking, public transit).

MapNavigationPageComponent​

  • Acts as the main container, rendering MapDisplayComponent, LocationSearchComponent, DirectionsComponent, and other relevant components.
  • Manages the layout, interactions, and data flow within the Map and Navigation Page.

Functionality:​

Display Map and Locations​

  • Renders an interactive map allowing users to view geographical locations, markers, and navigation controls.
  • Enables users to search for specific locations or addresses and displays them on the map.

Get Directions​

  • Provides functionalities for users to get directions from one location to another.
  • Displays route options, distances, estimated travel times, and turn-by-turn navigation.

Testing:​

  • Conducts unit tests for each component and functionality.
  • Ensures accurate display and functionality of the map, location search, directions, and navigation features.
  • Verifies responsiveness and smooth interactions within the Map and Navigation Page.

Future Enhancements:​

  • Implement real-time traffic updates and alternate route suggestions.
  • Introduce geolocation services for current user location identification.
  • Include additional map layers or overlays for enhanced information display.

Conclusion:​

The Map and Navigation Page provides users with an interactive and user-friendly interface to explore maps, search for locations, get directions, and utilize navigation features within the application.
