Mapping fields use Google Maps to show places on a form: one place, a route between two, the results of a search, many points at once, or a driving route through many stops. Each map has its own topic, below.


All of these fields share the settings described in Common Field Settings, and their conditions work as described in Field Conditions. A map's size is set with Field Width and Field Height in its Display Settings; a new map starts at 500 by 500 pixels, except the Route Map, which starts at 100% wide. Every map also has these display settings:

Default Map View - Whether the map opens as a Road Map View or a Satellite View.

Map Zoom - How close the map starts, on the maps that offer it. Each map's topic gives its range and starting value.


Only the Route Map saves a value. The other maps show information but save nothing to the form or the record.


The View Map and the Locations Map need a latitude and longitude rather than an address. If your records hold only addresses, Getting Coordinates from Addresses shows how to add coordinates to them.

View Map

Shows the area around a latitude and longitude, with no pin. See View Map topic.

Address Map

Shows a single address or place with a pin on it. See Address Map topic.

Directions Map

Shows the route between two places. See Directions Map topic.

Search Map

Shows what a plain-language search finds, such as the coffee shops near an address. See Search Map topic.

Locations Map

Shows many points on one map, such as a pin for every site, and can run a Multi-Action when a point is clicked. See Locations Map topic.

Route Map

Puts a list of stops in the most efficient driving order and shows the route: the stops are numbered in the order to drive them. See Route Map topic.
