In the age of exploration, navigators faced daunting challenges as they charted unfamiliar waters using tools like astrolabes and compasses. These historical instruments were essential for determining precise locations and navigating safely to distant shores. Fast forward to today, while the seas of commerce may not be as treacherous, businesses still encounter their own navigation challenges—particularly when it comes to managing accurate address data.
