Introduction
Map Field in Odoo enhances form usability by embedding a map widget directly into your record views. This allows users to visualize and input geographic location data—such as addresses or coordinates—via an interactive map interface. Ideal for modules dealing with partners, events, delivery points, or any geo-related information, this feature streamlines location entry, improves accuracy, and provides a more intuitive user experience.
Key Features
Integrate a dynamic map widget into form views for precise location capture
Support address selection, coordinate points, or drag-and-drop marker placement
Automatically display geographic data—such as address or latitude/longitude—in map format
Enhance existing models like Partners or Events without major UI modifications
Benefits
Elevates data accuracy by enabling visual location selection and validation
Improves user experience through an intuitive, map-based input mechanism
Enhances workflows involving location-dependent data—like logistics or field services
Reduces manual errors associated with typing addresses or coordinates
