Import Map Pin Feature

Featured Replies

I'm looking to see if anyone knows a way to import a map so we can note the locations of our customers. For instance when we enter a zip code in our customer file layout it will place a pin on the map that correlates to that zip code. My boss wants a page that will identify the location of all our customers with a pin on the US map.

Unless you don't have many customers that could become messy very quickly! I have no idea how to do this but I'd consider using the Google Map API and display it as URL in your database.

A good starting point is this:

To concatenate the needed code in FileMaker you need to geocode your addresses:

Geocoding with two sources helps you to detect mistakes in Latitude and Longitude.
