I'm pulling addresses from a cloud CRM system and writing them to a grid and then binding the lat/lon to a google map for marking position.  I want to use the shippping address instead.  Is there a way to have the Google Map Widget accept an map a physical address instead of pushing lat and lon to the location value?

The Google map widget doesn't do that unfortunately.

what you can do is show it by long/lat (can do a lookup based on address) and then show the address in the tooltip of the marker.

This will make it look like it is mapping it by address

Thanks Pai.  I presumed that was the case.  We will attempt to use the google api to geocode the addresses from the inbound system on-the-fly when the lat/lon is unavailable from the other database.
