What is the location that we get

[raddatzk]

I would like to use the current location, but the the location provided in the ClockModel says "Mountain View, CA". Am I allowed to transform the location to coordinates via the Play Services?

Thought that the official website has indicated the following requirements

===== ...

Design and data notes: The ClockModel API with mock data is provided to you. Using this API is optional, but it provides system information such as the brightness mode, weather, and time format.

• The clock design should use landscape mode, with a 5:3 aspect ratio.
• You may use Material Design icons.
• All other assets, fonts, icons, images, and so on should be your own, or licensed under a BSD-3, or OFL license (for fonts).
• Your clock should not:
  • Have user interaction (such as tapping, gestures, dragging, mouse, keyboard, and so on).
  • Play audio, including an alarm.
  • Make network requests.
  • Collect data in violation of applicable laws (including privacy laws).
  • Contain copyrighted or trademarked content.

Yes I already read this, but I hoped it will be okay to call the Play Services, as this is not some ridiculous-api:1.7

The location is a String. Feel free to go into model.dart and hardcode it to something else while you develop (but revert and submit the original model with your project).

Because it is a String and doesn't have validation, feel free to make your location a String coordinate (e.g. '(12.345678, -12.3456789)'). Make a note of that in your submission (maybe add some example strings to try) if the UI behaves differently based on the location String.

You may not use Play Services.
