Problem
"Takes me ages to find out postcode, distances, A-to-B, and mile radius."
I started this project when I noticed that my friend travels a lot for work and holidays, and so I asked how their experience was when booking trips, and found that she loves to explore and travel to places she has not been. However, there have been times when she struggles to find postcodes, distances, A-to-B, and mile radius.
