Frontend map should be Google Maps #2

Open skivdal opened 3 months ago

skivdal commented 3 months ago

The map component in the frontend is implemented using leaflet and OpenStreetMap. I propose changing to Google Maps to achieve two key feature aspirations:

The component should still place a tack on the map and pan to it on a server message indicating a location has been found. Dependent on the resolution of issue #3, the component might need to place multiple, visually distinct tacks.

The map currently looks like this, with no option for street view or satellite maps: image

Note: no need to change to the Google Maps JS SDK. Google Maps satellite and terrain layers can be used in Leaflet, like Bellingcat does in this tool: https://osm-search.bellingcat.com/ (https://github.com/bellingcat/osm-search)
