Description

Instead of just typing the location in, display a map to the user (using OpenStreetMap for example), and take the coordinates of their pin and use that to display weather information.

Make it a 2 way thing, and if a user types a location in, it displays a pin on the map as well!

If you have an API key, let @wrussell1999 know so it can be added to the Netlify website hosting it!

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the existing location input and weather display, then trace how typed locations are handled before evaluating an OpenStreetMap integration. Done means users can select coordinates from a map, see typed locations represented by a pin, and receive weather for the selected location.
