Challenge #57: Build a Valentine's Day App

The solution is posted. It was great to see people not only successfully doing the weekly challenge, but doing it BETTER. There were some well-styled maps and some great error handling logic put into this week's challenge!

no where near as polished as some of the submissions, but it seems to work

(not as pretty on the canvas as @MarqueeCrew either).

 

As long as the flowers arrive, it should all work out OK...

My solution. This was a fun one! Learned a lot more about apps, and a few things about maps... I solved without DriveTime parameter as I don't have the dataset, so no bonus for me. But I did randomly try out wireless connections for my app prompts so that there weren't lines all over the place, which certainly makes the canvas look prettier... so that has to be worth at least one candy heart. :)

A bit too late for Valentine's Day but was a good opportunity to brush up on interface tools.

 

Since I don't have a drive package, I decided to add an option for a user to choose between Miles and Kilometres. Though on the second thought, there is not much difference between them :)

Those reporting tools are a bit fiddly but a fun exercise
