Implementation Details

HTML Code

The HTML code in this project is responsible for attaching the values fetched from the ISS API "https://api.wheretheiss.at/v1/satellites/25544" to the map.

JavaScript Code

The JavaScript code handles the data fetching from the ISS API, using asynchronous functions (async/await). The data is then populated into two variables and used to update the map with the real-time longitude and latitude of the ISS.
