   P.S. check out this fantastic example that helped me quite a bit: https://openlayers.org/en/latest/examples/here-maps.html

2. OSM Geocoder

   - Uses Open Street Map Data and [ol-geocoder](https://github.com/jonataswalker/ol-geocoder)

3. Geolocation

   - It's surprisingly easy to get someone's location. The following code is all that is needed (public/javascripts/maps/mainMap.js line 360):

     ```javascript

     navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition((yourPosition) => {

       // yourPosition is an object from your brower's Geolocation API

     });

     ```

   - Here's a link from [Mozilla](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Geolocation_API) that goes into more detail

4. Drawing

   - Freehand

   - Not freehand

   - Lines and Polygons ([in case you forgot what a polygon is](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygon))

5. Accounts

   - Can create an account with a unique username

6. Download

   - As a png image

   - GeoJSON data
