wikipedia layer done + my location icon #17

Closed matanel-oren closed 4 years ago

matanel-oren commented 4 years ago

Wikipedia layer shows a Wikipedia 'story' of articles that are attached to geographic points close to current location. It is based on Geosearch API of wikipedia, that you can see here, and try here. The story includes also the main image of each article, if there exists one.

I'm adding also marker icons for wikipedia layer points, and for "your location" marker.

Note that in order to avoid over requesting from our server to wiki servers, the whole work is done in frontend, using separate get request from the frontend to wiki API. The backend isn't involved in this process at all.
