The Directions tool computes a driving-car route between an origin and a destination, both defined by latitude and longitude columns on each row. It is intended to work together with tools like Geocode when you need coordinates from addresses first.

​
What you get

For each row, the model adds (among others):
  • geometry — route geometry stored as compressed TopoJSON.
  • distance_meters and duration_seconds — summary distance and travel time from the routing response when the request succeeds.
  • error / error_message — populated when the directions request fails, so you can filter or debug failed rows.

​
Configuration

1

Origin latitude column

Numeric column for the start point latitude. You can pick a column or a parameter (parameters appear under their own section in the control).
2

Origin longitude column

Numeric column for the start point longitude. Columns or parameters, same as origin latitude.
3

Destination latitude column

Numeric column (or parameter) for the end point latitude.
4

Destination longitude column

Numeric column (or parameter) for the end point longitude.
All four fields are required. Null origin or destination coordinates on a row cause that run to fail with a clear error for that row.
