The Mapbox Geocoding API allows you to make forward geocoding, which means that a text query like University of Washington gets turned into longitude and latitude coordinates. But sometimes it's not enough to find query results. Often, you want the geocoder to find query results that are biased toward a location, limited to a specific area, or both. -- **Presentation** + - **Readings:** - [Local search with the Geocoding API](https://docs.mapbox.com/help/tutorials/local-search-geocoding-api/) @@ -168,6 +167,7 @@ In this week, we will introduce you to a basic spatial analysis that uses distan - **Readings:** - [Sort data by Distance: Part I](https://docs.mapbox.com/help/tutorials/building-a-store-locator/) - [Sort data by Distance: Part II](https://docs.mapbox.com/help/tutorials/geocode-and-sort-stores/) + - [Visualize geographical changes over time](https://docs.mapbox.com/help/tutorials/show-changes-over-time/) ### Week 9 : More advanced spatial analysis on the web @@ -177,21 +177,17 @@ In this week, we will introduce how to deal with time on the web.
