Challenge 6: MapIt application using the Google Maps API

This application was not only my first look at using the GoogleMaps API but also my first time using the AngularCLI. The first thing I noticed? It was really nice not having to go clone the sample template from git and to have my project all made for me simply by running the "ng new projectname" command.

The Google Maps API was also surprisingly easy to setup simply by following the instructions at the link below: https://angular-maps.com/docs/getting-started.html

In this application I learned new Angular CLI commands such as the above mentioned: "ng new projectname", I also learned I needed to use ng serve to serve the project and that it would be at localhost:4200.

The marker entries are stored in local storage and this is similar to what we have done in class with vanilla JS, PHP and more. I plan to expand this project and use it to track places I have visited within Nova Scotia and abroad.

Below you will see a video demonstration of the application and my score results on the quiz at the end of the tutorial.
