Host: Mike Lee and Micah Woods
Room: Proof Suite
Day: Thursday
Time: 1PM
Mike Lee and Micah Woods explore two ways to bring Google mapping into FileMaker.
Mike and I have taken two fairly different approaches to the same problem which is how to build and display Google Maps in a FileMaker web viewer. Mike took a server-side approach (all files available for download at fmmap.com) while I decided to used our SmartPill plug-in to create a local file. Both approaches work well and have their pros and cons.
Join us to take a look at our solutions and explore the amazing things you can do with Google Maps in FileMaker.
Hmmm, wouldn't be cool if there was a map showing where everyone is from?

Come see how I created this with the click of a button.
Look forward to seeing you there!
P.S. If your picture is wrong or missing on the map or for any other changes, just email me: micah.woods@scodigo.com.

Hey Bruce, I think those are people that just listed their state with now city. In that case, they just end up in OR which I think means the center of the state.

Nice. But somehow a lot of people got attached to Redmond OR, about 10 people.
