Inspiration

Driving safety can be a major issue especially when weather conditions change over a long drive. This program gives information to a person preparing to take a long drive so they can have a safe trip and prepare.

What it does

User inputs a starting location and destination, and program returns weather and temperature description for three-hour intervals along the route.

How we built it

Used Google Maps API and OpenWeather API in Java.

Challenges we ran into

Figuring out how to use APIs. Calculating the midpoints between two different coordinates given through Google Maps to get better location estimates.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Using two APIs to create a comprehensive, easy-to-use program that is also beneficial in the real world.

What we learned

How to use APIs.

What's next for Route Planner

Error handling. Formatting output to be more visually appealing
