A Rails Map Generation App

Use the Google Maps API to draw maps with routes between two points and show progress between the points.

• Accepts multiple sets of coordinates (by address) and a optional Float value for the distance covered between the first and last coordinates

• Draws a map with the route between the points, through all intermediate points (either optimized or not)

• Places a marker at the position on the route representing the distance from the starting point based on the given value

• Separate lines for the route from “start” to the current point (considering the “distance covered” option) and from the current point to the finish.

• Display the numeric value of the overall distance, distance covered, and distance left.

Uses Google Maps, Geometry, Places, Autocomplete APIs
