QB Maps

Features and functionality

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 extension allows users to set up 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 or 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 selected can be customized to show data that is retrieved from Quickbase.

  • The extension 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 the information.

  • The Get Directions tab allows users to set a source and a destination by either selecting the pins to be the source or destination, or by entering the address in the input text box.

  • The best route can also be viewed in the native Google Maps app on mobile devices or the Google Maps web app on a desktop browser. The extension provides a button to open the native or web Google Maps app.

  • The QB Maps extension also allows users to create a legend to provide the summary of different pins that are being displayed on the map. This legend can be enabled or disabled by selecting a checkbox on the screen.
