Thingworx and Google Maps Modelling Data Structure

[gledesvicenzi]

Hello guys,

I'd like some help with some questions I'm facing based on the GoogleMaps Extension and the Thingworx data structure and how they interact with each other:

- How to store data such as routes defined by the user in the GoogleMaps Widget;

- Track vehicles circulating along these routes;

- User defined stops added that are independent (multiples routes can have the same stop) and how to store them.

Basically, I need help understanding WHAT these entities will be and HOW they will be stored (remembering that they will be defined by the user).

it might be helpful to refer to the widget's property table and definitions in the helpcenter:

The route data is an infotable so  you may consider using a data table, for example, to store the routes. There are multiple ways to go around this, but you may also create a custom service defining the vehicles (Things) using the routes.
