Hi,
My org is using podio as a CRM for sales leads; we set up in person meetings with each lead. Trying to fill a reps day with appointments can get tricky since we are working across the whole state. My vision of the perfect app would be an app that is a google map with pins for each lead we have (we have an app with hundreds of leads) -then have the pins color coded based on the status of the lead. Is there any way to make something like this or does anyone have a suggestion of a comparable tool?

  Hey Marissa

  I see what you mean - it is actually something that we hope to add to Podio in the future :) It will be very useful I think.

  For now, perhaps you can look into this tool: http://batchgeo.com/?

  Cheers,
  Sara - Podio

  You may want to check out Trackvia (not an employee or rep of TrackVia) They can build a color coded map based on addresses.

  Example: http://community.trackvia.com/community/sites/trackvia.com.community/files/images/2011-05-10%20map.jpg

  Map view (Reference: http://community.trackvia.com/community/knowledge-base/trackvias-help-manual/working-views)
  Map views require that you have valid and recognizable address information in your view. This can include a mix of address information (Street Address, City, State, Zip Code, Country) or Latitude/Longitude.
  Note: By including in your schema a calculated field named "Map Color" that assigns a color ("Red", "Blue", "Green", etc.) to the values in your records you can color-code the map's pinpoints.

  Ensure that your view contains "mappable" information.
  Note: This can include such information as City and State, Zip code, City and Country, Latitude & Longitude

  You can zoom in, zoom out, drag the map around, or switch to satellite or hybrid mode. However, these changes are temporary and won't be permanently saved.
  If you have more questions you can contact me offline.
  Bob

  Bob, 

  Very helpful thank you. I just have a couple questions.

  Is there a way for the data in podio to be automatically synced with a trackvia map?

  Is the map easily accessible to podio users?

  Is there a way to input a new pin on the map and have it create a new item in podio?

  Can you click on the pins in the map and pull up data about that lead?

  Thanks,
  Daniel
