Inspiration

Using Google Maps, we often find that the ETA is wrong. Either we walk faster than expected, or we drive slower than it think we do... and you end up being very early or super late to meetings. We wanted to create a project using the Google Maps API that would, depending on your past habits, give personalized time estimates.

What it does

It takes as input a start and end location as gives you back the personalized ETA based on your habits.

How we built it

Google Maps API, Python, JSON, HTML

Challenges we ran into

We had difficulties getting inputs from the HTML to work with the Python code, so we used JSON functions as the intermediary.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Building the project that we wanted to build!

What we learned

Working with APIs, linking Python and HTML together, extracting information from APIs.
