\"fmMapping<\/figure>

Today we offer a new minor update to our ever-popular fmMapping Module. If you\u2019re not familiar with it, this is a simple-to-deploy, FileMaker-native module for integrating Google maps with your FileMaker application. It has the ability to map multiple address records on a single Google map, using a web viewer<\/a>.<\/p>

fmMapping Update<\/h3>

The updates today fix a minor bug, provide better documentation of recent changes to Google\u2019s API, and more importantly, remove the need for custom functions. The older version relied on two of them, and they\u2019ve both been replaced with\u00a0FileMaker 16\u2019s native JSON<\/a>\u00a0functions. If you\u2019re running a version of FileMaker earlier than 16, this update is not for you.<\/p>

You can download the new version HERE<\/a>, and let us know if you need help deploying it, or if you\u2019re interested in added features.<\/p>

Note: If you\u2019ve had trouble recently with Google maps being drawn with a darkened background and the words \u201cFor development purposes only\u201d, it\u2019s due to changes made by Google:<\/em><\/p>

  1. The Google Maps API now requires all requests to be submitted with an API key. Formerly, they allowed a certain number of requests without the need for a key.<\/em><\/li>\n\n
  2. For the fmMapping module to work correctly, there are two separate APIs that need to be enabled in the Google Maps Developer Console:<\/em>
