The Retirement Plan

Title: Secure Locations with The Retirement Plan and Geolocation API

Description:

Inspired by Nicolas Cage’s strategic and intense role in The Retirement Plan, this project uses the Geolocation API to create a web application that tracks and displays the user’s current location, capturing the themes of secrecy, security, and planning. The application reflects the film’s strategic atmosphere, enabling users to view their location on a map and save secure locations for future reference. This project demonstrates the practical use of the Geolocation API to enhance user interaction and location-based services without requiring third-party APIs.

Features:

Real-Time Location Tracking: Use the Geolocation API to get and display the user’s current location.
Interactive Map: Display the user’s location using a simple HTML and CSS map.
Secure Locations: Allow users to save and view secure locations.
Thematic Design: Reflect the strategic and secure atmosphere of The Retirement Plan through the application’s design and interactions.

Starting Code:

Beginner Hints:

Create a single index.html file.
Copy the full HTML code block into that file.
Open index.html in your browser. If something doesn’t work, try a local server like python -m http.server.
Open DevTools Console to spot errors and typos quickly.
