Embedding a map into an application has become a common task across various business domains, as it not only enhances the effectiveness of data presentation—like clearly visualizing sales regions for better market insight—but also significantly improves user experience by simplifying the navigation and search for example, for local branches or services.
In our upcoming webinar, we'll show how to embed interactive maps into your web applications using the Jmix Maps add-on. We'll guide you through the easy steps to set up an interactive map and define its behavior using Java and and XML.
Plan
We'll illustrate the features of the addon through a practical, real-life example.
We're creating an Onboarding App to help newcomers navigate essential steps in starting a new role. In this video, we'll introduce a feature that allows users to view all offices and coworking spaces on a map, enabling them to select or edit their base location.
explore geospatial objects and understand how to configure a property with a geometry type for storing coordinates.
learn how to style a map element and change its appearance.
integrate a map component into the view and show offices and coworking spaces using different markers.
learn how to use geometry features to visualize data on a map: highlight the building area using polygons and mark an entrance to the building using point. Draw a line to show the path from public transport to the office.
implement business logic of selecting an office or coworking as base location and add features that enable users to zoom and center a map around a location
Jmix is an open-source platform for building enterprise business applications in Java.
