A way for users to refresh their location. #23

Currently if the users are moving around, they need to refresh the browser to update their location.

Some users dont understand that and sent feedback that all over town they got the same results.

Do you suggest a refresh button?

Not sure, we have many buttons :)

We can fetch the location every X time

It's a good idea But maybe before fetching the data from Wikipedia API we can preform a check if the user have moved outside a certain Radius of the latitude and longitude (For example: The user moved 1KM from the last data fetching then preform a new fetch request to the server and update the UI) That way there would be less network traffic.

Not sure that the network traffic is an issue - but I did walk with it last week abroad, and updating my location on the map and the distances of things would have been helpful (even without reloading the data from wiki, just updating)
