We control the pins being displayed as well based on a type field on the locations table. The data that appears in the pins is coming from QB as well.

I’m looking at what got pasted in my entry and what you pasted. Make sure that all double-quotes in your version are actually regular double-quotes and not the right quote left quote characters. If those characters end up in your html page, it’s likely that they will not get interpreted correctly when the browser attempts to execute it. For whatever reason, the blog editor we used tried to be smart about the quotes.

I apologize if that is the problem…

This is not an inherent feature within the QuickBase platform. We’ve developed this as a extension using the QB API as well as the Google Maps API. It is a hosted utility that we offer for a monthly fee. We have a few others as well, you can see them here…

If you are interested in more info you can contact us directly, our contact info is within these demo apps.

Mike,
your Google Maps API comment can be achieved, check out this QB application:
https://www.quickbase.com/db/bdtmpnmx5

Click on a county link on the dashboard and a Google map will appear for all locations in that county. We control the pins being displayed as well based on a type field on the locations table. The data that appears in the pins is coming from QB as well. You can click the link in the pin and we take you back to that QB record.

Hi, cool example. I would LOVE to see an example of using the Google Maps API to place push pins representing customer locations on a map. Not directions to a customer site, but all customers in a query represented on the map as push pins. Please tell me this can be done, and done easily. Please, please, please…..
