The Wolfram Language provides convenient functions for a wide range of local and travel-related geo computations.

Specifying Locations

GeoPosition — location specified by explicit latitude, longitude

Entity — location specified by a geographic entity (city, mountain, building, etc.)

GeoMarker — marker to indicate a location

Deducing Locations

Here — deduced current geo location

FindGeoLocation — find a geo location from a street address (or estimate from geoIP etc.)

GeoAntipode — antipode of a geo location

CentralFeature — the most central location that minimizes distance to all other locations

GeoNearest  ▪  GeoIdentify  ▪  SpatialMedian

Random Locations

RandomGeoPosition — generate pseudorandom geo positions in a region

Direct Geodetic Paths

GeoPath — direct path on the Earth (geodesic, rhumb line, great circle, etc.)

GeoDistance — distance based on a direct path

GeoDirection  ▪  GeoDestination  ▪  GeoDisplacement

Travel-Based Paths

TravelDirections — compute travel directions

TravelDirectionsData — data on travel paths, including maneuvers and instructions

TravelTime — estimated travel time for driving, biking, walking

TravelDistance — estimated travel distance

Maps & Visualizations »

GeoListPlot — plot points or lines

GeoGraphics — general maps with street maps, relief maps, etc.

Large-Scale Regions

GeoVisibleRegion — region visible from a particular point in space

GeoDisk  ▪  GeoHemisphere  ▪  DayHemisphere  ▪  NightHemisphere

Natural Language Interpretation

Interpreter — set up an interpreter for geo location information

"Location"  ▪  "StreetAddress"
