Maps View on Account form only with Geo data?

Posted on by 1,784

The map on the Account form doesn't display a place if only geographic coordinates are provided instead of an address. Is there a way to facilitate this?

    Maps View on Account form only with Geo data?
    To ensure that the map on the Account form in Dynamics 365 displays a location using geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) instead of a full address, Maplytics offers a perfect solution.

    It is designed to work with both addresses and geographic coordinates. It allows users to visualize records on a map using latitude and longitude data, even if no physical address is available. Maplytics supports the use of latitude and longitude to geocode locations on a map. If your Account record contains only geographic coordinates, Maplytics will automatically plot the location using this data.
    1. Seamless Integration: The integration with Dynamics 365 ensures that even if the address field is missing or incomplete, Maplytics can still display the record on a map, preventing data gaps when using geographic coordinates.
    2. Map View on Account Form: When configuring Maplytics, you can ensure that the map control on the Account form is set to use coordinates when available. This allows for accurate visualization, ensuring all records are shown correctly, even without a full address.
    Maplytics is a storehouse of unique features that increase efficiency and productivity. You can experience the same with a 15-day free trial or simply connect with the team at crm@inogic.com for a free personalized demo. It may help you resolve more problems than just one!

    Hello, 

    You could use Quick Maps for mapping and getting geographic coordinate data for not only instead of an address but you can put customer code or reverse the process of address to geographic.

    With Dynamics CRM bing maps integration you should view this data through ariel view, road view and street-side view to easier mapping and locate the address.

    Hi Wayne and thanks for your response.

    Unfortunately there are no addresses available for these latlongs. They represent electric switchboards somewhere in the landscape without an asphalt road nearby.

    Maybe it'll be possible by creating an embedded canvas power app as soon as this functionality is available... -- Uh.. however for the moment I think I'm gonna tell the customer to stay away from this requirement as it sounds like some days of work.

    The easiest thing would  be to reverse geocode your latlongs an get the address.  you could bulk export the latlongs, get the updates, and then reimport if it's a one-time need.

    Otherwise, you're going to have to custom code your own Bing Maps lookup or use something like Maplytics.
