GeoData

The GeoData field stores geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) for a record. It has an interactive map to see and select locations, and it supports place search. You can use it as the data source for Map View.

2. In the dropdown modal, enter the field name (Optional).
3. In the dropdown, select the field type GeoData.

Cell display

In the grid view, a GeoData cell shows the stored latitude and longitude as a coordinate pair. Click the cell to open the expanded cell editor.

Cell editor

Use the expanded cell editor to see and set a location.

The cell editor has these parts:

• Latitude and Longitude inputs: Enter or change the coordinates manually.
• Interactive map: Shows the selected location with a marker on a map from OpenStreetMap. Click the map to move the marker to a new position.
• Place search: Use the search bar at the top of the map to find a location by name. Select a result in the dropdown. The coordinates are then set automatically.

• Use Current Location: Click this button to fill the field with the current geographic coordinates of your device. The browser must have location permission.

External map links

At the bottom of the cell editor, there are links to Google Maps and OpenStreetMap. Use them to see the selected location in a full map application.

Sorting GeoData fields

You can sort GeoData fields in ascending or descending order. The sort uses the text form of the stored coordinates.
