Hello,

I am Newbie to Thingworx,

I want to highlight multiple Locations on Google map.

[Example-3 Different locations with the marker]

I have created a Data Table and included the different Location's inside it in another Data Table, But after binding it to the Google Map 'm unable to get the desired output.

Kindly suggest, How do i get those multiple Locations on the Google Map.

As long as you have a Service that returns an infotable with Locations, the map can display that.

Bind the data to the Map and then make sure you set the 'Location' Property of the Map Widget, indicating which column has the locations.

    I have many queries regarding this google Map widget.I kindly request you to guide me.

    a) As you have mention, i have a service which returns the Infotable with locations.

    i have created an Infotable with name [Axcend_Table] in this way.
         1.In the Field Definitions i have added 2 Locations
             Name:Bangalore
             Base type: Location
             Has Default value:Yes
             Default Value:12.8896959,77.5429539 (latitude and Longitude)
    Similarly i added another location in the same way...


    b) In the service , i have done as follow

    Input-Location
    BaseType-BaseTypeName

    Output ,
    BaseType:Infotable
    DataShape: Axcend_Table (Correct me if 'm wrong here)

    Snippet- i added this from 'Create Infotable from datashape' under snippet

    var params = {
    infoTableName : "InfoTable",
    dataShapeName : "Axcend_Table"
    };

    // CreateInfoTableFromDataShape(infoTableName:STRING("InfoTable"), dataShapeName:STRING):INFOTABLE(Axcend_Table)
    var result = Resources["InfoTableFunctions"].CreateInfoTableFromDataShape(params);

    These all the steps i have done..But still 'm unable to get the output...Please suggest me if 'm wrong some where..

    If you check your actual output, you'll find that creating an infotable based on a datashape just gives you an empty infotables with no records inside.

    Also this most likely isn't the best way to retrieve the information.

    If you have not yet done so, I recommend you go through the online training. The online training will point you in the direction of best practice modeling and what are appropriate services to use.

    Hello arpitha,

    Follow the steps for require multiple marker in your Google Map :

    Create service in your Things or Thing Template

    Add below code in your Service . Before Add create DataShape .

    var params = {

        infoTableName : "InfoTable",

        dataShapeName : "Datasahpe"

    };

    // CreateInfoTableFromDataShape(infoTableName:STRING("InfoTable"), dataShapeName:STRING):INFOTABLE(Datasahpe)

    var result = Resources["InfoTableFunctions"].CreateInfoTableFromDataShape(params);

    // location:LOCATION

    var location = new Object();

    location.latitude = 23.452;

    location.longitude = 72.124;

    location.elevation = 0;

    location.units = "WGS84";

    result.AddRow({location:location})

    //location:LOCATION2

    var location2 = new Object();

    location2.latitude = 23.123;

    location2.longitude = 72.456

    location2.elevation = 0;
