[Ticket][PMT] Make MapScout Automatic Zooming Features [Low Priority] #230
Description
Nonprofit Description
Mapscout is intended for nonprofits who need a customizable and intuitive method to display location based data in a map format (think Yelp or Airbnb for nonprofits). As a custom solution turned general solution, Mapscout is striving to expand features that our existing clients want or will want. In addition, we are focusing on simplifying the presentation of our product in order to bring in new users to our ecosystem.
Ticket Description
As a note, this ticket was spun up during a leadership meeting rather randomly and isn't something that anyone has specifically requested, but something we thought would help
Currently, whenever a non-profit has to get onboarded onto MapScout, they have to specify a longitude, latitude, and a zoom level to decide what the map will contain. The zoom level is based on google-react-maps and doesn't have a clear semantic meaning, so when we onboard non-profits the zoom has to be played around with to figure out which zoom is ideal.
We would like to alter the functionality of MapScout so that when a new location is inputted into the system, the zoom automatically adjusts to contain all the locations. You are free to implement this with an outlier detection algorithm (ignore locations really far away).
Acceptance Criteria
- Zoom is automatically done.
Other Notes
- Reach out to leadership for project secrets
- Follow the README for setup and ask for questions if you run into issues!
