GoogleMap API

Thanks to the GoogleMap API, you can create more advanced Maps within your projects. The Google Map API widget lets you create a series of Markers with associated data. A series can be created manually by adding the Markers one by one, or directly by loading geolocated records from a database.

In Order to use the GoogleMap API Plugin, you must enable it from the project settings (Plugins Tab) and set your Google Map API key by clicking on the “Configure” button.

Get Markers from SQLite Database

If that option is not selected, then you will have to add the geolocated markers one by one by using the + button.

When using Markers from the database, you will have to set the following options:

• 1°- Category: the database records category you want to load.

• 2°- The maximum number of rows you want to load.

• 3°- The detail window that will be loaded when the user will select a marker. (Can be empty.)
