Exporting Geo-Coordinates from FM8.5 to Google Maps

Featured Replies

  • Newbies

I'm working on a project which involves maintaining an ever-changing list of addresses in a FM database, along with the latitude & longitude corresponding to the addresses.

I want to be able to export the list and display the addresses' geo-coordinates on a Google Maps map.

The problem I'm facing is that if I export the database as XML, it has all the column and row tags still in it. I need to be able to export the data in a way that Google Maps can recognize.

Here is how it's supposed to look: http://www.myavenues.com/rackmap/test4.html

But of course the trick is getting the data from FM. Is there any way to edit the XML tags FM uses, perhaps ditch the tabulation altogether? Is there a 3rd party application that could help?

Thanks!
