Attributions

The code from Udacity lectures and example code from googlemaps have been used extensively.

Notes on API links

The main API link is with googlemaps. It uses the places library to extract information as well. The foursquare API is used, just for the restaurants. It gives an indication of how expensive the restaurant is.
