How to Build Location Features with ChatGPT
Location-based features with ChatGPT and ToolRouter. Geocoding for store locators and delivery apps.
Tool
ChatGPT helps you design location features by demonstrating both geocoding directions in context. It processes your test addresses, explains edge cases like partial matches and international formats, and suggests how to structure your location data for different use cases. Feature planning and data validation happen together.

- Request: "Show me how to handle edge cases like ambiguous addresses"
Example Prompt
Try this with ChatGPT using the Address Geocoding tool
I need to build a delivery zone feature. Geocode these 5 warehouse addresses, then reverse geocode the center point of each delivery zone to get its neighborhood name.
Tips

- Ask for edge case handling strategies -- partial addresses, international formats, and PO boxes
