Add GPS Coordinates field to address field

under review

Paul Ricci

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.

Do we have any updates on this request, Jon Darbyshire?
Through the API, we can access the location latitude and longitude when the address is validated.  As a really quick win, I am hoping we could access the coordinates through formulas via dot notation.  Right now the dot notation only allows the input fields for the address.
I am hoping we will be able to enter GPS coordinates in the future, as the company I am working with tracks a lot of rural assets that do not have a civic address.

Plus code addition to above would be more beneficial

Just commenting to show continued interest in this request!

This feature would be very important for our purposes, as we use coordinates without an address.

Love this idea. We have people clocking in/out of job sites and we like to record their lat/long or GPS coordinates. It would be super neat if that could be displayed as a point on a map or added to the field, whichever makes more sense.

We also work with many manufacturers and logistics companies that can send us a table of GPS locations which can become a map showing an objects "course" on a map over it's lifetime which is another applicable use case.

Would be OVERJOYED if SmartSuite could please include include GPC LOCATION Field and then a MAP and then an ADDRESS, in that order. My client builds and maintains government buildings across Southern Africa. I am developing a solution for them based on the Project Management Template (Excellent!). We need the GPS location to attach to all site inspections. IN Southern Africa not all locations have addresses, some of these buildings are in the rural areas. So GPS coordinates and the country code and name is vital.

Another low code tool has these, each extremely compelling. Please consider, I do no want to use another tool, when Smartsuite is an ideal fit for everything else.

I also see business cases for this with the ability to use "Current Location" if the user is on a GPS enable device when adding a new record / submitting a form.

somewhat related, nice to use these coordinates for map view. if we could automatically record the coordinates of where we were when we created the record. this way when you want to recall a meeting's notes but can recall the names or topic of meeting but you remember I was in Atlanta on a business trip ....go to map view and you see a record pinned to the map......

plus there is some many other uses....... property inspectors, restaurant reviews, favorite moments on a trip

For the telecom industry, this is a MUST!! To be able to add Longitude and Latitude, not formatted addresses, would help us know where our facilities are and which areas are serviceable within a specified radius

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.
