FYI, I created a ticket on the backend to get a lat and long and look up the NC from it. It's issue #957

I also think it would be great to use the browser location feature so users don't have to type in an address.

Question: what is the benefit of having the address search box be able to search by council name in addition to address? The neighborhood council names are not exactly easy to determine or remember. I would kind of assume that if someone knew the name of a council they'd know it's location on the map and it would be easier for them to click on it than type it in. do we have any data from v1 that says this is a useful feature? otherwise, it might be easiest for this to be a pure address search.

I don't know of v1 data supporting council name search for the v2 basic user. A pure address search would definitely be easier.

Address search bar redesigned to allow toggling between address and council search. See contemplated redesigns in Figma:

Status: Geocode address to lat/lng and fetching enclosing council id from API working. Still need to:

• Style
• Push to history on geocode result - map/nc/:nc_id or something similar.
• NC localGeocoder
• Switching between address/NC search

ETA: To be completed this weekend, 4/4.

Status: Wasn't able to finish up this past week. Address search merged to dev via #1081. Working on localGeocoder for searching by NC name.
ETA: By next meeting.
