# MapGO

> "Turn coordinates into answers."

MapGO is a developer-friendly geospatial workspace for manually entering coordinates or uploading CSV files to compute distances, look up administrative hierarchies, and analyze spatial relationships without heavy GIS tooling.

Live Platform: https://mapgo.io

## Core Mission & Value Proposition

MapGO helps teams quickly transform latitude/longitude into actionable insights:

- Early validation of locations and routes without setting up a GIS stack
- Fast distance and hierarchy checks for day-to-day operational decisions
- Bulk CSV processing for batch analysis and downloadable results
- Simple, modern UI with no API required for core workflows

## Target Audience

### Logistics & Operations
- Plan routes, check border proximity, verify cross-border segments
- Validate distance-to-coastline for shipping or port adjacency

### Real Estate & Site Selection
- Assess proximity to coastlines and boundaries for compliance or valuation
- Understand location hierarchy from continent → municipality

### Analytics & Data Teams
- Tag datasets with administrative regions and geo-features
- Run batch enrichments via CSV upload; download enriched results

### Compliance & Environmental
- Verify distance to sensitive boundaries and coastlines
- Support regulatory checks with reproducible, downloadable outputs

## Key Problems Solved

1. Manual, spreadsheet-heavy geo checks that are error-prone and slow
2. Lack of lightweight tools for boundary/coastline proximity calculations
3. Fragmented sources for administrative hierarchy and distance lookups
4. Difficulty processing larger datasets without a GIS specialist

## Core Features & Capabilities

### Distance Tools
- Distance to Coastline: Straight-line distance to the nearest ocean coastline
- Distance to Border: Proximity to the nearest country/region boundary
- Point-to-Point: Compute distance between one or multiple coordinate pairs

### Location Hierarchy Finder
- Retrieve structured hierarchy: Continent → Country → Region → District → Municipality

### CSV Bulk Uploads
- Upload CSV files; auto-parse columns; process in batch
- Visual progress with interactive results and downloadable CSV output

### Admin Dashboard
- Workspace for history, usage, and exports (included in paid plans)

## How It Works

```
Enter coordinates → Choose tool → Get results → Download CSV (optional)
```

Or

```
Prepare CSV → Upload → Bulk processing → Interactive review → Download enriched CSV
```
