Location
Store a place on each record, find it by address search, and show records on the Map view.
A Location field stores a place on a record: its latitude, longitude, and address. The record shows the place on a small map.

Show records on the Map view
Use the Map view to show the records of a database that have a location. If the database has more than one Location field, choose the field in the menu at the top left of the map. To change a record’s location, drag its pin. You cannot drag a pin that holds more than one record.
