Output
A full screen Google Map with a side drawer containing two tabs. One contains a list of all the locations being displayed on the map and the second allows the users to get the best route between a source and a destination of choice.
Features
The Add-on allows the users to setup multiple queries in Quickbase to get only the required locations from one, two, or as many tables as needed.
Additionally, a predefined radius (in miles) can be set to retrieve only those locations from the database that lie within the set radius.
The pins/markers on the map can be customized. Along with this, the info-window or the pop-up that appears after a marker on the map is clicked can be customized to show data that is retrieved from Quickbase.
The Add-on provides a list of locations that are displayed on the map. A specific marker can be selected from the list or from the map directly to view information from the record it comes from.
The "Get Directions" tab allows users to set a source and a destination by either selecting the pins to be source or destination or by entering the address in the input text box. This route can then be opened in Google Maps.
Users can draw a shape on the map to select multiple pins and get the best route between all of them, in addition to a single source and destination.
The QB Maps add-on also allows users to create a legend to provide quick info of different pins that are being displayed on the map. This legend can be enabled or disable by checking a simple checkbox present on the screen.
The Add-on can plot the user's own current location on the map, and optionally save that location's latitude and longitude back into a Quickbase record.
A circle can be displayed around the central location, with a configurable radius, color, and fill.
The default map style (roadmap, terrain, hybrid, or satellite) can be set, and users can also switch between styles while the map is open.
The batch version of QB Maps has it’s own set of features such as geocoding and distance calculating. You can find information about them here.
