In PHPRunner 7.1 I want to follow the Documentation at "Google Maps API v3 and geocoding"
I know that I have to add new fields to the table that contains address information necessary for Google Maps.
If this is first time for a user to go through this process the explanation is missing some information.

1. Proceed to the table that stores addresses and add two new fields to that table. Fields need to be able to store floating point numbers. In MySQL use Decimal(10,6) or Double. In MS Access use Number with 'Field size' Double.

2. Proceed to the field that is setup as Map. Make sure that Address and Latitude/Longitude fields are selected.


What does "the field that is setup as Map" mean exactly? Am I to presume that "Map" is ONE of those New fields I just created?
But then > Make sure that Address and Latitude/Longitude fields are selected.


I don't understand how to interpret this.
This speaks of Latitude/Longitude --- is this ONE field, the second new field I created in the table where the address information is contained?
And my table right now has business name, street, zip code, city, country all in different fields.
Does the PHPRunner conversion utility need all of that to also exist in one dedicated field as well?
Thank you for adding a few more words of explanation.

Latitude and Longitude must be two different fields. My English is far from perfect but usually "s" as in "fields" points to plural nature of the object in question.
