Directories | Map View New
Availability
This feature is available now.
Description
You can display the geographically based contents of a directory listing on a map with pins, which can be tapped to reveal details of a location.

For this to work, your data collection items must include an address, city, and state. Then take note of the following two screens located in your administrator tools:
Option 1 (Recommended)

Option 2

Choose “Map” from the layout type dropdown menu. Leave the checkbox with the “Use system generated geolocation” label unchecked (empty). Then select the location field that stores a complete location (e.g. address, city, state in one column) in your data collection.
