This episode dives into geocoding and distance calculations, the backbone of accurate supply chain modeling. You’ll see how to turn raw addresses into latitude/longitude points, verify them visually, and switch between providers like Mapbox, Bing, or Azure with a single key. From there, the video shows how Cosmic Frog calculates road distances and transit times, either from your own data or through automated lookups powered by external APIs.
The best part? You’ll discover how flexible the platform is. Need rough estimates for strategy? Cosmic Frog can give you quick straight-line distances with smart adjustments. Need precision for routing? The Distance Lookup utility plugs into external providers for lane-level accuracy.
