Geocode the latitude and longitude
You can get the latitude and longitude of multiple locations automatically using QB Maps Batch.
By passing in a filter, you can take one or multiple addresses and get the latitude and longitude of them and save those values in Quickbase.
This can be useful if you want to automatically update the latitude and longitude of a record when the address changes. You can set up an email notification to trigger when the address field changes to run QB Maps Batch and update the latitude and longitude automatically.
You can also use this to update a bunch of records with latitude and longitudes at once by setting up the filter to find multiple records to update. This can allow you to prepopulate the latitude and longitude before running the web version to display the map, speeding up the time it takes to load the map.
Get the driving distance between two locations
You can get the distance between two locations automatically using QB Maps Batch and save that distance into a record.
By passing in two addresses, QB Maps Batch can calculate the distance to drive on roads between them and save the distance in miles in a Quickbase record.
See the Batch parameters explained page to see what parameters are used to run these features.
