Update v1.0.3

[schnipdip]

High Priority Focus of 1.0.3:

1. Update: Increase the radi distance of Google Maps API.
   Reason: The snapping distance, 3 meters, won't always register if there is a available street view before defaulting to satellite view. By increasing the snap distance to 10 meters it should increase the likelihood of a snap.

2. Update: Manually add locations
   Reason: This makes it a lot easier to add locations without needing to physically be at the location. You may have been to that location before and/or are aware of a specific location in mind, then you shouldn't have to physically capture the location.

3. Update: Finger pull left -> right to open hamburger menu
   Reason: It can be challenging to reach the top left of the screen, especially with larger screens. By allowing the user to pull the hamburger menu open it should make it more accessible and increase the quality of life of the user.

4. Update: Adding local notes to an image.
   Reason: Even with given an image, it can be challenging to recollect why you saved that location. Being able to add personal notes [local] will significantly increase the users quality of life. Local notes will only be viewable by you.

5. Update: Automatically add land locations owner name and contact information.
   Reason: One of the biggest hurdles location scouters have is getting in contact with the land owner to get access to a location. By utilizing Google Reverse Geocoding API we can map latitude and longitude points to a readable address. We can then pipeline the address in to an open source API called Open People Search. The information gathered will be in the Global Notes section of each image. If no information is returned, the data fields are left empty and the user an add the information manually. This information is visible by all users on the app. Possibly need to implement a paid version of the app to help subsidize the cost of this feature.

Low Priority Focus of 1.0.3

1. Update: Add more menu options to the hamburger menu
   Reason: We want to integrate a play store/app store Rate and Review option, a Google Maps option, and a Home selection to better navigate EBE.

2. Update: Add a sort function
   Reason: If a user has lots of images or wants to view the newest images in their collection, they shouldn't have to scroll to the bottom. A sort function will allow the user to view their collection the way they want to.

3. Update: Add a Categories section
   Reason: Categories will be a menu option where users can add and remove category groups. Users can long hold an image to add an image to a particular group from the popup menu. These groups can be filtered on with the filter button. This is particularly useful if you are saving location for a particular project or if you want to better organize your locations. Categories are only visible to the local user.

Bug Report:

[Page: Manually Add Location]

[Issue]
When a user selects a locations, clicks the save button, selects another location and then goes home a bug is triggered that prevents write completion. This is an issue because the users local image repository won't load until the asset is deleted in the database.

Issue has been resolved.

It turns out that certain countries don't have state identifiers. The state data field was set to null which was throwing an error.
