Google Maps App is a geolocation management and mapping integration application that captures spatial GPS coordinates, embeds interactive map renders, and stores address location entries on Joget v4, Joget v5, Joget v6, and Joget DX 7.

Field teams, site managers, and portal developers struggle to log accurate spatial address coordinates when relying on text-only location forms or unlinked external map tools. Text-based address inputs lead to misspelled location records, missing latitude and longitude coordinates, and untracked site pinpoints across corporate directories. System developers lack reference integration templates to embed live JavaScript API mapping elements inside custom application forms.

Key Features

• Captures device geolocation coordinates automatically using the browser-based location detection button.
• Integrates the Google Maps JavaScript API inside custom HTML form fields to render interactive satellite and map views.
• Calculates and displays separate latitude and longitude spatial values from selected coordinate points.
• Refreshes embedded map pins in real time based on manually entered spatial coordinate strings.
• Stores location records within a searchable management datalist detailing record numbers, titles, coordinates, and modification timestamps.
• Serves as an open reference template for developers to study and modify custom HTML form integration logic inside the Form Builder.
• Provides responsive mobile web layouts for field personnel to log current GPS locations on smartphones and tablets.
• Exports location directories and coordinate records into CSV, Excel, XML, and PDF formats.
