hi, would you please describe how to use the googlemap feature like in the Event template?
I tried to examine the code but did not find where you set the conditions for the google map display:
Example:

on the even template the user clicks the map link and is instantly transferred to the relevant googlemap page.
now:
I have the following table:
ID

PersonName

PersonAddress (example of data there would be: 21 King street West, Ontario, L4A 3H1) - I assume it should be set as link -which when clicked transfers you to the big map in a new tab??)

GoogleMap - displayed as map (small size)
then how? i am stumbled
DO i have to use logitude and latitude and the use hyperlink in custom codes?

It should be very simple, but I am lost
Please suggest

Thank you for these great links, but I was looking at the explanation on how to do it exactly as event templates suggested
something like:
set address as a text field,

set googlemap as ???

use custom code as follows...(events tab, custom box, etc)
it looks so simple in the event template but I cannot find the "entrance" as described in the above links (I do not use longitude and latitude yet,just normal address
I have already learned a lot, and with your guidance can learn even more,
thanks
