The Map type page allows to display the Google map with multiple locations. Locations are determined by latitude/longitude coordinates and are marked by pins on the map. It is possible to provide each location with a brief description and a link to a target URL of a page containing detailed description of the location.
The page should be tested on SC previewer app (The image in the web simulator has no clickable areas). Editing is done in Edit Map Page.
Page displayed on the device:
The Map Title is editable.
Locations can be added (+button) or removed (-button) from “Locations:” table.
In the table “Location details” you can specify name of the place and its coordinates (latitude/ longitude).
Additionally you can enter a brief description and a link (Target URL) to a page within your app or a web page containing detailed description of the place.

Locations can also be entered directly in the app.xml file.
In the app's Dashboard find the link Edit "app.xml" file
A Resource Manager window will open with the xml file.
Going back to a question I had previously asked...
Is there any way that we can set the initial zoom level for this page ?? Sometimes when I have used this, the zoom level is ok - other times, it is zoomed in way too much or zoomed out too far - making the map look very weird.
Also, is there anyway to have various colours for the pointers on the map, instead of all being red ??
the issue with the error displayed in case of adding a large number locations in a map page will be fixed.
A workaround for the error returned by the browser would be to add locations directly in app.xml file. In the xml code locate your map type page and copy/paste data for each new locations enclosed between <location>...</location> tags.
