Azure Mobile Apps for an Android app with Google Maps


hello,

i'm pretty new azure, , looking bit of advice on services should use back-end of android app. better explain needs, here quick breakdown of app: 

  • android app uses google maps android api allow users view , submit blocked bike lane incidents in philadelphia
  • users able submit incidents cloud database, view incidents submitted other users. each incident includes info on location, date/time, photo stored in database
  • the app part of master's thesis project, , funding limited. chose azure because qualified dreamspark education program, provides free access year
  • i completed android quick start provided azure, , app sends data default "todoitem" database

i rather new back-end dev, , i'm bit unsure of whether azure mobile apps serve these requirements, or if l or should explore using mongodb parse server instead?  if decide go azure mobile apps, should use azure documentdb?  additionally, research, know it's possible use mongodb (through mlab) , parse in conjunction azure. way go, or using 3 overkill needs?

i'm unsure of whether it's idea use azure mobile apps geospatial data. i've read, mongodb's bson supports geospatial data, while azure documentdb not. however, think work around storing latlng coordinates in azure database, , using google maps geocoding service within android app. correct?

this first time posting msdn forums (and first creating cloud-based android app), apologize if post rambling and/or rather basic. please let me know if there information should add clarify questions.  thank you!


given reliance on storage , geospatial data, i'd recommend looking @ parse server.   either mongodb version or version using documentdb purpose.  being azure guy, i'd recommend using documentdb version (parse server on managed azure services) - find integrated solution save significant time.
