Add the distance text to the app #3

A few big things happened:

This isn't nearly finished, but it gets and displays the distance in the following steps:

  1. Get the location using the watch's GPS
  2. Send a query to Google's nearby search system and parse the response
  3. Send a query to Google's distance matrix system and parse the response
  4. Display the parsed distance.

I know there is probably a better way of doing this that doesn't require a personal API key. Gotta look into that. We want this app to be usable by lots of people:)

Still a lot of work, but this is acceptable for adding the distance
