Dear Support / Community,

We have encountered this issue with the Distance column that some of the values are incorrect.

**Example One:**  
Distance in Google between 2 postal code:

Distance in Glideapp:

**Example Two**  
Distance in Google Map

Distance in Glide column

What could be the cause of such an issue?

Any feedback and suggestions are deeply appreciated!

The Distance column works with either lat/long coordinates, or an address.  
If you’re just giving it a postcode - which appears to be the case - I don’t think it is guaranteed to work.

Try prefixing the Postcode with the city/country, like this:

 ![CleanShot 2024-07-22 at 17.04.55@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/a/2a83793ea042fcfe24019a1c0ef6f0a297d8aa04.png)

Then it will look more like an address, and is more likely to give correct results.
