How to display multiple things in one map? the datasource seems that it can only handle one thing, but I want to show 3 or 4 things
You’ll need to create a new thing that combines the values of all the separate things if you want to work around this because, yes, the map will only accept one type of thing (with a location field) at a time.
@romanmg how do I do that? if I create a map list item (of type list of other things) i will be stuck since the list display of the map ONLY allows a list of geoprahical addresses not a list of other things…
You can do this a few ways, depends on how big this list could be.
One way is to create a new data type (not a new field) with a geographic address field. You’d need to create a new record for this type for every one of your existing things of different types… save the address for each of those things to the new type’s address field. Example:
Say you have the following Types: Apartment, Home, Office. Each of them have an address field, but the map will only accept a list of Apartments addresses, a list of Home addresses, etc. Not a list of each.
You’d have to create a new Thing called Building. For every Apt, Home and Office, you create a new Building and save the addresses. The Map would then be a list of Building addresses.
