Neighborhood Application for Udacity Course. This application requests your location and allows you to search for interesting locations near you. It presents this information on a large interactive map. You can access the live version here: Neighborhood Map
Users can select a category and a subcategory from the first 2 dropdowns in the dropdown mode, and select a distance (in miles) from their current location. Users can also switch into "Search Bar" mode to simply search by keywords. A green marker will mark the users current location (or the default location if geolocation is not enabled); red markers will mark matching results. Clicking on the red markers will bring up a content window with the location title, the latest Yelp review and Yelp rating, as well as a link to the Yelp listing. Users can also filter the current list of locations with the Filter Results input box above the Results list (simply begin entering text and the list and map will filter out accordingly).
