Geocoding with an Apps Script
How To Geocode With A Script
Industry:
n/a
The purpose of this app, is to demonstrate how simple it can be to implement a geocoding system inside your app
- If someone uploads a record WITH an address, we can generate the LatLong
- If someone uploads a record WITH the latlong, but not the address, we can reverse geocode and find that too

How we built this app
The heart of how this works is two fold:
1) A geocoding script; to take either the address or latlong, and run that through the Google Maps API to find the corresponding data point
2) An automation that runs whenever a record is saved/updated; this passes the information given in the record to the script, and returns what we need
This is a preview of the data sets used in the app.
Data
This is a high-level model of both the data entities and the UI elements in the app.
