You will need android studio on your computer in order to run our project. We also recommend running with an android device instead of the emulator.
- Open our project in android studio
- Sync our gradle files (this might take a while because we are using two apis, one from tomtom and the other is MLKit from google)
- Once the sync is complete build and run the project (if you are using an emulator you will have to configure your location and the camera)
