#FreebaseMaps

This is a sample app that combines geolocated entities from Freebase with Google Maps API.

You can see the deployed version on googleknowledge.github.io/FreebaseMaps.

The app uses browser's geolocation feature to find user's location and displays a map of interesting objects that can be found nearby (within 50 000 ft). It uses the Freebase Search API to find relevant objects.

When user clicks on one of the markers, the app calls the Freebase Topic API to fetch more information about that object. Once the information is retrieved, it populates a purejs template to display a knowledge card for the user.
