Update Geolocation on Custom Fields
Hi All,
Thanks to the data integration rules, I have my geolocation fields updated for standard objects: Accounts, Contacts, and leads. However, I am wanting to have the geolocation fields also update on my custom object- "Property" .
I was wondering what's the easiest way to get this done?

Thank you for your response.
I went to the link, and it seems like my use case is a little different. I want to pull the geolocation from the google map and store it in the geolocation map field (Property__c.Location__c). I have the visualforce map working from the address, city, zip code field. I don't know how to retrieve the lat and long though from the map. here is the code. Can you or anyone help?
<apex:page standardController="Property__c">
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyDS5llFUkQMqDCazEhB8ZiYMxjIbgNeIAA&sensor=false"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var myOptions={ zoom: 15,mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,mapTypeControl: false };
var map;
var marker;
var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
var address ="{!Property__c.Address__c},{!Property__c.City__c}, {!Property__c.State__c}, {!Property__c.Zip_Code__c}";
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: "<b>{!Property__c.Name}</b><br>{!Property__c.Address__c}</br><br>{!Property__c.City__c}</br><br>{Property__c.State__c}</br><br>{!Property__c.Zip_Code__c}</br>"
});
geocoder.geocode( { address: address}, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK&&results.length) {
if (status != google.maps.GeocoderStatus.ZERO_RESULTS) {
//create map
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), myOptions);
//center map
map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
//create marker
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: results[0].geometry.location,
map: map,
title: "{!Property__c.Name}"
});
//add listeners
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infowindow.open(map,marker);
});
google.maps.event.addListener(infowindow, 'closeclick', function() {
map.setCenter(marker.getPosition());
});
}
} else {
$('#map').css({'height' : '15px'});
$('#map').html("Oops! {!Property__c.Name}'s billing address could not be found, please make sure the address is correct.");
resizeIframe();
}
});
function resizeIframe() {
var me = window.name;
if (me) {
var iframes = parent.document.getElementsByName(me);
if (iframes&&iframes.length == 1) {
height = document.body.offsetHeight;
iframes[0].style.height = height + "px";
}
}
}
});
</script>
<style>
