We’re creating projects that incorporate addresses, geological coordinates, and so on.

It would be interesting and very helpful to incorporate an “extension” that adds Google Maps or Similar and the ability to use multi-select to add “points” to areas on said map. Also, the ability to link those points to other entities.

I can see non-profit, travel, events teams, and many more using this feature. Airtable and Clickup have this through extensions and Jira through third parties.

You will probably find some useful discussion of essentially the same idea in this prior thread:

> [@\[DONE\] Geospatial fields](https://community.fibery.io/t/geospatial-fields/413):

> Hi everyone, One of the features that almost all work/project management systems miss is the ability to assign geospatial information to tasks or outline location of a project or mark different phases of a project on a map. I think this is because most of these systems are geared towards developers and makers whose work doesn’t really have a direct spatial dimension. However, for anyone who delivers projects or services across a region, this is a must. What is needed is a way to store geometry(…

If you have some specific use cases I’d suggest adding them there. However I do still think this is outside the scope of Fibery itself and probably best handled as an extension (as it is in most other systems, as you point out).

Agreed. This may be useful, but would love to see the team prioritizing a range of other stuff before this need. Seems it’s most useful to teams that have some physical location needs, not sure how many small - to - mid-sized Product teams fit that description.

Astute commentary as always @Oshyan!

Agree with the commentary here an on my thread. But as you know I’m biased on this 😉

I thought I add that even adding a map view within Vizzdrop would make a huge difference. As far as I’ve seen, map views are standard in data visualization platforms. Using text boxes to store lat/long would work (as long as the visualization type supports it) but obviously an actual lat/long field would make things even better.

Vizydrop seems like the right place to implement this, good point!

Gmaps integration would be a great feature.

After closing Google Fusion tables it’s a big problem to find a non-coding app which could geocode your database

It is always good when the team can reply to requests. However I would say this is [relatively far outside the scope of needed features for most “product teams”, and since this is their core focus for the next 3+ months](https://fibery.io/blog/chronicles-30/), I wouldn’t expect to see any geo features for some time. I continue to feel it would be best handled as a plugin, and they do have an API which could make it possible (I may be wrong, it may not be powerful/flexible enough, I’m not a coder).

Hi!  
@Oshyan was totally right - currently, we are focusing on Product Team development and our upcoming integrations will be Zendesk and one of the CRM ones (Hubspot may be, not a promise).

Anyway, that idea is noted and once it would rise in the Product Teams concept - will be glad to dive deeper into this feature 🙂

> I can see non-profit, travel, events teams, and many more using this feature.

This is totally not our focus and would be glad to know certain cases - there are some workarounds and would be nice to see, whether they can work 😉

I think one solution might be achievable if we are able to embed iframes into documents:

> [@\[DONE\] Add field url embed iframe as field in wiki doc](https://community.fibery.io/t/add-field-url-embed-iframe-as-field-in-wiki-doc/259/7):
>
> External embeds, e.g. iFrame, like the Onebox which Discourse uses, would certainly be nice. A shame that Fibery can’t just use the existing Onebox itself, I’m pretty sure they’re on a different platform/set of tools than Ruby. But I imagine there are other similar solutions out there…

Through some magic on integromat, in might be possible to create carto maps from fibery data and then have them visible inside a fibery document. Not the nicest setup but I thought this is just another use for embedding content.

Hello)  
Here’s a useful add-on - [Google Maps for Jira](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1223352/google-maps-for-jira?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=fibery&utm_medium=comment&utm_campaign=GM).

It allows:

- Add geolocation for every issue;
- If the address doesn’t exist, use geocoordinates to add location markers (e. g. 40.68925, -74.04451).
- Set and view geolocation for each issue on Issue View Tab;
- Ability to view a location name, place (in the format you have used when entering), accurate geocoordinates whenever you need;
- Use all Google Maps features for interaction (zoom/drag, change map type, and click markers to reveal more information).

Hey everyone,

Using the native _World_ integration as part of our product roadmap, we would like to be able to use the country information in order to generate visual-friendly automatic report.  
Today, we are using tables to identify our geographic deployments, but being able to visualize the information on a map should be very helpful/mind-blowing.

Information to display for each country should be the different roadmap items (incl. some key caracteristics) and roadmap item status.  
Could be great to keep the current filter capacities to generate specific views depending on audience.

Thanks for your feedback on this one, don’t hesitate if you some more details on this one.

Cheers.  
/BC

I agree this would be a huge improvement to the platform that I would make lots of use of. However, as I understand it desired use cases of Fibery as a geospatial database/map viewer are few and far between. I have high hopes that the platform will eventually have a similar extension marketplace similar to Coda. Until such a time, the mad genius known as @cannibalflea devised somewhat of a workaround that is explained here: [https://community.fibery.io/t/geospatial-fields/413/16](https://community.fibery.io/t/geospatial-fields/413)

Hey guys,  
Following up on this one, the Location features is realty awesome, however, we’re a bit stuck with our initial need as we do not manage to generate a per-country map (the map generation only works with specific points/addresses).  
Before opening a new thread, I just wanted to make sure we did not missed something.

Thanks a lot for your feedback.  
Cheers.
