Forward geocoding and reverse geocoding
Mapbox's Geocoding API converts coordinates into addresses and addresses into coordinates for street addresses, cities, neighborhoods, and zip codes. The Mapbox Geocoding block allows you to execute the geocoding function while your data is in-motion, especially useful for delivery, ridesharing/taxi, and navigation applications, where geolocation data can be streamed, and addresses can be updated in real time.
