Thanks Chris, great video.

I have tried to work with Google Maps Places API in the past, but I have faced an issue with their API Policies. According to their policy you cannot save details like the place address which was autocompleted in your application database (https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/policies#pre-fetching,-caching,-or-storage-of-content). Also I remember you can save the latitude and the longitude in the database but you have to refresh it every 30 days (https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms/maps-service-terms).

What are your thoughts on this?
