Is there a way (maybe tutorial) for a user to use the map to find items that are nearby? Can they use their current location or enter an address/zip code to find the closest data point that is in a table?

You could sort by distance, so the user shares their location and can see nearest to farthest.

Are you sure?

It’s now called just “Distance”.  
Search for “distance” and you should find it.

There’s also trip ETA’s using the Radar integration. I believe the distance column will measure “as the crow flies”
