Add a Landmark API #3

Open WestFlow127 opened 2 years ago

Here is a possible option for obtaining landmark data to fill the app with landmarks. This would be the base landmark data the app will begin with, and later users will build upon the repository of landmarks.

Could use Google Places SDK (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/ios-sdk/overview) for iOS to query for landmarks or points of interest using these "place type" keys: "landmark", "town_square", "natural_feature", "campground", "amusement_park", "airport", "stadium", "tourist_attraction", "zoo"...

This doesn't have a radius parameter and only uses the location of the user's device, within a short distance. This API would not get landmarks relatively far away.
