In a corporate setting in the UK, current data analysis focuses on calculating distances between two addresses using GPS coordinates. Remarkably, 99% of these calculations only consider straight-line distances. This approach, while interesting, does not account for real-world travel routes. Google’s API offers a solution by providing travel distances by car and public transport. However, Google’s terms of service limit the storage of query results and the number of API calls. As a result, there is a pressing need for alternative tools and data sources that comply with UK regulations to enhance distance calculation accuracy.
