Google Maps in FileMaker

FileMaker Maps are Now in DayBack Calendar

SeedCode's ProMaps Add-On Brought FileMaker Maps to Life

The map became another way to view your found set: list view, form view, map view. 

But the code could be hard to customize. It was difficult to add additional data sources to the map (additional tables with mappable addresses, like customers AND workorders). Also, getting it to run in WebDirect took a lot of work.

So we’ve moved the map into DayBack calendar so folks can easily add new data sources like they add new calendar sources. You’ll be able to route each resource on the calendar and adjust your schedule based on the best route using Google’s drive-time API. And it works great in WebDirect.

Routes and Drive Times in FileMaker Maps

You have incredible work flow options now that DayBack is drive-time aware. This includes customizations like asking DayBack to suggest a different resource when someone else will be physically closer to a customer later in the week. And warning users when there isn’t enough drive time between scheduled appointments. 

The map comes with a library of extensions you can customize to build the scheduling behaviors you need. Many extensions are can be pasted into DayBack and used as-is, or you can modify them yourself or hire SeedCode to create new ones for you. 

ProMaps is no longer for sale as a stand-alone product. Maps are now included in DayBack’s Plus plan, offering tight integration between the calendar, map, drive-times, and distances. Available in DayBack for FileMaker and Salesforce.
