I have a database where there is separate fields for Address, City, Postal Code etc. The UI Only has a place for Address and no way to select the city and postal code data. Therefore I believe that is why my maps are not displaying anything?

How do I use addresses that are in more than one field? I have literally about 10,000 of them. So finding the Long and Lat for each one would be impossible.

Not sure if it is the correct way to do it or not but I was able to add all of the fields to the address box in the UI using 'Template' in the Data Bindings picker. Not sure how that would work though for multiple addresses?

Hi Brad,
Template is indeed the way to go, if you split your addresses in different columns.
What do you mean by: "how that would work though for multiple addresses?"

For example if I had a map with all the local restaurants. Following the video tutorial it even mentions that it will only show the first location in the recordset. What if you have multiple locations in a recordset?

That's not right, the video shows how to use the first record location as a center location for your map. It is not mandatory to use this as a center point anyway, that's just an example.
But all of the records will be displayed on the map, as you can also see in the video...

Ok, perhaps I misunderstood the video. I will have another look. Thanks!
