In mariatreesa/GeoShiny: Geo-location.

Introduction

This package was developed as part of Lab Assignment at Linkoping University. This package has function two functions:

1. geocode_response which takes an address as input and returns the lattitude and lognitude associated with that address as a vector. The address is in turn passed to a shiny app connected to google's Geocoding API and shows the address on the map.

2. reverse_geocode_response which takes latitude and longitude as input and returns a complete address. The shiny app shows the address on the map.

It requires the user to provide an API key for google's Geocoding API.

Running the Shiny app (GeoShiny)

```{r run, eval=FALSE, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE, paged.print=FALSE}

load the necessary packages

library(GeoShiny) library(shiny)

run the shiny app from github

runGitHub("GeocodingShiny", "mariatreesa") ```

Given a latitude and longitude instead of an address the reverse geocode returns the complete address of the location. Map views can also be changed from default map view to satellite view
