Description

Errors especially API request errors have not been handled. For instance, when fetching data from the API and a 500 error response is received, the spinner on the map renders continuously. This should be modified such that a user-friendly message is displayed instead

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the API fetch calls in the map component and add error handling to display a user friendly message instead of an infinite spinner.
