Maica's Google Maps API integration also uses Locations to geo-code each one which is then used to calculate travel times between . Locations are also set for each as their primary Location so Maica can track the travel time from this address.
Locations are a good way to abstract the management of addresses manually, so we encourage you to capture Locations for each address that is used more than once and should be globally accessible.
