getNearbyPlaces method

void getNearbyPlaces(LatLng latLng)

Utility function to get clean readable name of a location. First checks for a human-readable name from the nearby list. This helps in the cases that the user selects from the nearby list (and expects to see that as a result, instead of road name). If no name is found from the nearby list, then the road name returned is used instead. Fetches and updates the nearby places to the provided lat,lng

Implementation

//  String getLocationName() {
//    if (locationResult == null) {
//      return "Unnamed location";
//    }
//
//    for (NearbyPlace np in nearbyPlaces) {
//      if (np.latLng == locationResult.latLng) {
//        locationResult.name = np.name;
//        return np.name;
//      }
//    }
//
//    return "${locationResult.name}, ${locationResult.locality}";
//  }
