    Hello Priyanshi,

    1. The easiest way.

    ​If your service that populates the Google Map returns also the additional attributes that should be shown when marker is selected, you can bind the SelectedRows of your service with the grid - this way, when you select the marker, a whole data regarding selected record will be passed to the grid:

    2. The more flexible way.

    If you don't have the data as an result of the same service or don't want to use the previous way, you can pass the selected location parameter to additional service that returns more data:

    Hope that clarifies a little bit. In case of any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

    Regards,

    Use Google Maps widget that's on the marketplace: https://marketplace.thingworx.com/Items/google-widgets

    Hello Priyanshi Saxena​,

    You can use Google Map widget. It's easy. Just need to pass an infotable with at least one Location type field to the Data field and then pick this field in the LocationField widget property. Don't forget to mark true ShowMarkers property (but don't worry, it's true by default).

    Hope it helps, let me know if you need any additional questions.

    Regards,

    J.

    Hi Jakub,

    Yes it worked, I am able to display multiple locations but how to display the data associated with those locations in the infotable (i.e other fields in the infotable) on selecting any marker on the map.

      Hi Priyanshi Saxena​,

      It works fine for me. I passed all data (Location, Tooltip details) as data to Google Map. Then selected my LocationField and TooltipField properties from the dropdown and it shows data as expected.

      What are the exact steps that you are following.
