uber-eats

An extremely simple web app which allows you to see food trucks near a selected location.

Hosted at http://ubereats.herokuapp.com

How to Use

Clicking anywhere on the map will load and display a set of food truck markers within the bounds of the current map viewport. Selecting different points of the map will load different results if there are any available food trucks within range. The user selected marker will be bouncing to signify that it is the user selected marker.

Clicking on a food truck marker will show the details of the food truck location including the name and details.
