MyWayPoints is a distributed web application that provides users the weather information of cities along a route. This enhanced information will help them to prepare for their trip. When a user inputs 'Origin' and 'Destination' locations on this web app, they will get the optimized route along with some markers on the route. Every marker will represent a city on the route and show the real time weather information of that city.
This is the version 02 of MyWayPoints web application. In this version, I use a database, so all the repeated requests (same 'Origin' and 'Destination') are served from database. But the initial request is served by accessing the APIs. I use 2 API : Google Map API for showing the route and OpenWeather API for showing the real time weather information of a city.
