[Feature] Add a measure distance tool #261

Closed danielkorc closed 1 year ago

danielkorc commented 5 years ago

MapBox PowerBI visualization is missing two key features - find location based on coordinates (geocoder only accepts addresses), ideally the coordinates format can be selected (not just basic Lat/Long); and the other feature missing is to measure distance between points or even better to show radius of ceertain distance. Any plans to implement that? That would make this visualization actually practical for real life mapping use.

Great feature request, thank you for ticketing @danielkorc!

Summarizing the request below:

  1. Allow reverse geocoding, with a user-specified coordinate format, inputs into the search input bar (to complement the forward geocoding name -> location capability currently in the visual)
  2. Add a measurement tool between two points, in addition to the current drawing / selection tools

I'm re-orienting this ticket to focus on measuring the distance between two points. Opening up another issue for tracking reverse geocoding search.

One way to do this would be to include turf.js support. https://docs.mapbox.com/help/how-mapbox-works/geospatial-analysis/

(This is possibly my greediest feature request to date, and that's saying something!)
