Hi Bijay,

Thakas for this super document.I wanted to know can we skip the 1st pasrt where we place a button and get the Geocodes.

Instead can we not directly in the report pass the address and get the plotting in the map.

I have Lakhs of Customers.It would not be possible to go to every Customer -->Go to Edit mode> Update the Geocodes...(Can this proces be automated)

Regards,

Hi Sankalp,

You can directly pass the address and get the Geocoding(Latitude and Longitude) value and plot them on the map. However, there is a limit on how many Geocoding(Latitude and Longitude) requests you can send per second set by Google. You have to delay the geocoding request by implementing some logic in you code and hence, this will take longer time to display the address mapping on the google map. For this reason, I have saved the Geocoding(Latitude and Longitude) values before hand.

More info about other Google map api limitation can be found on https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/business/articles/usage_limits

Hello Bijay,

Actually I was thinking something else..Like in webapplet we simply pass the address and we get that on the map.There we dont pass any Geocodes

can that approach be impelemted here? I was wondering cannot we simply pass the address.We don't want Google returns the geocodes, we just want that Google plots that address on map instead of converting the address to Geocodes.

I hope you get my point.

TO repharese" If we can send multiple Geocodes to get the plotting on Map, can we not send multiple address to get the plotting on map"
