In the Extract Address section, we have a quick example of details you can extract from the api response, if you know what you're looking for. Google Maps API returns one to many close by results and for each it has the full formatted address as well as many address components for us to parse. In this case, we wanted to reverse geocode because we had pre-determined latitude and longitude, Address Components There are reasons to use them both and Retool supports either depending on what query string you provide. If we had an address, like that of a user's input of their delivery address, and used this same endpoint, it would be considered geocoding to retrieve the GPS location. In this case since we're providing the GPS location, like that of a user's device, and reverse geocoding the location information. Geo Series Part 1: Google Maps Reverse Geolocate, Driving Directions and MapBox.json (534.1 KB) Application Walkthrough Google Map Reverse Geocode
Connect with your own Google Maps API key and customize to your requirements. Public application here Download the Retool applicationĭownload the Retool application and see how we've used Google Maps, Driving Directions API, and Mapbox GeoJSON layer to build the application you see above. In this application you can change the lat,long of Origin and Destination, reverse Geocode to get address information about those points, get driving directions between the two points and visualize them in Retool's Mapbox component.

Even still Retool's integrations and components with geo services components are very powerful. That is why I'm excited that I have Retool to do a lot of the heavy lifting for me nowadays. The moment that I thought I had mastered the package I was using (Mapbox, ArcGIS, Kepler.gl, Google) one bug or additional requirement would derail my whole understanding and I felt like I actually knew nothing.
When I used to be building applications with React, the projects that involved any sort of mapping were always a pain.
