Edit: Managed to resolve this. Writing to the location_latitude and location_longitude fields in the address field using the API makes the address appear as a point on the map. This API came in handy for converting postcodes to latitudes and longitudes. Note you have to format the latitude and longitude values as strings.
Hey,
We have a lot of records with addresses in them taken from other locations. The addresses are well formatted (with a few exceptions) with the street, city, and zip code/postcode filled out. It would be really great if we could get these to appear in map view.
Unfortunately it seems like the only way to do this at the moment is to manually go through and correct each address using the autosuggested entry from Google maps. That overwrites the address with what Google thinks it should be. A lot of the time that means losing the first line, or some other information.
It's not ideal to have to manually go through every address just to get them to appear in map view, and losing the first line is really not great.
Is there any way to get these addresses to appear in the map view without changing them? They all have postcodes (they are all in the UK), which are by definition associated with locations.
Thanks for any help,
Adam
