Which record can we display on google map

Any record with an address in Salesforce can be displayed on Google Maps. So in terms of standard objects, that’s Leads, Accounts, Contacts, and Users.

But here’s the wondrous thing. You can display related data along with the address information. And you can use different icons in Google Maps to add intelligence to the Salesforce data that’s displayed on the map. That means you can create powerful maps that have practical value for decision making.

Here is an example of Salesforce data displayed in Google Maps. The examples work in any country that is supported by Google Maps.

In above example, we are showing the all the account of Salesforce on the google map

In the addition, we provide a functionality where user can select the account address fields i.e billing address/shipping address
