How to Build Location Features with Copilot
Add geocoding to your app with Copilot and ToolRouter. Location features built in your IDE.
Tool
Copilot builds location data pipelines from within your IDE. Geocode addresses from seed files, generate GeoJSON collections for Mapbox or Leaflet, and write coordinate enrichment scripts that transform raw address data into production-ready spatial datasets. The location feature takes shape alongside your code.
