Add GPS coordinates field from Google Maps to the address field. Allows you to use the field for driving directions from the mobile app or to identify a specific location that does not have a registered street address.
As an example, we would use the GPS coordinates field to identify intersections on the map view for each record. This would allow us to click the link and use Google Maps to direct us to the location.

This is great. Would be nice if you could put together a route by determining time as well as distance. Allow for time at each location. I would put several locations on a map and then map the locations in order to be able to setup a daily route. Also would be nice to be able to convert that information into mileage logs for year end taxes.

Jon Darbyshire: Just discovered that Google has "Plus Codes", which is a condensed version of the GPS coordinates.
Not sure if it's possible or necessary to include a "Plus Codes" field or if the Plus Code can be input in the regular address field.
"What are Plus Codes?
Plus Codes are like street addresses for people or places that don’t have one. Instead of addresses with street names and numbers, Plus Codes are based on latitude and longitude, and displayed as numbers and letters.
With a Plus Code, people can receive deliveries, access emergency and social services, or just help other people find them."
