Fibery Map and Location field Improvements

I am trying to add 100.000 locations to Fibery. This geo thing is my profession so perhaps certainly I am pushing the limits a bit and asking things of Fibery I perhaps should ask elsewhere :face_savoring_food: But just to share, here there are two things I encountered:

  • When importing a CSV via the CSV 2.0 way, I could not select Location as a field type, even though the data was formatted right.

  • The map view is limited to 500 pins. Does this have to do with the MapBox pricing?

And finally, I would love to add other types of layers. Such as polygon or other background layers (for example through a WMS/WMTS/Vector Tiles URL that you can add). Again, I admit my agenda of trying to turn Fibery into a WebGIS :innocent: When I have some time I will work out some ideas and look for workarounds.

Hi!

  1. Location field will be added to the import soon
  2. Map view is limited, since we didnโ€™t plan that to be a core use case. Rather HR or Sales addon - show me where our employees are, where are offices are, etc.
  3. Map view is not in focus so itโ€™s unlikely any improvements will be added this year at least, sorry :cry:

Thanks for your quick and clear reply @Polina_Zenevich ! Great to know that Location field import will be added soon. VERY useful! :pushpin:

I understand that it is not the focus and that the use cases are limited. If I will think of any new use cases that are of broader interest of any improvements I will still send them for your backlog.

And I hope to start working on my workaround soon, which (if it works :crossed_fingers:) makes everything (or at least a lot) possible in terms of maps and visualizations! :wink:

@bear Looks like the 500 pin limit is removed?

The limitation is 1000 now if I count right.

Edit: You can see a beautiful example here of a map with lots of data :comet:

Hi @bear :vulcan_salute: ,

Are you sure? I was able to add a lot more than 2K locations in my Map.

not sure I will try it out myself when I am at homeโ€ฆ oh man I hope so much the limit is crazy high now :blush: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

the limit is around 3K locations, probably exactly 3K. My happiness rose by 200% today :round_pushpin::round_pushpin::round_pushpin::round_pushpin::round_pushpin::round_pushpin::round_pushpin::round_pushpin::round_pushpin::round_pushpin::round_pushpin::round_pushpin::round_pushpin: :world_map:
