Call google maps with customer's address?? How to..
I have an app to enter in new customer information. A form with several single line fields. Address, City, State, Zip. Necessary to filter based on these fields. While entering in the customer information the next step is....
- map their full address and view it in google maps while discussing the location with the customer. So I need to combine the address fields into a complete address and use it to bring up a browser tab with google maps directly to the customers address.
- then we use the measuring tool in google maps and measure out features at the location.
- Then we use JING (screen capture) to create a photo of the location (with the measurements) and annotate notes on the image. items to consider, area and length measurements, and other notations.
- Then we save that image to a customer folder on dropbox.
- Then we use quick books desktop to create an estimate and email to the customers
Our goal is to use the app to
- enter in the customer data, link the map & measurement images along with additional photos taken of the customer's property.
- Create calendar appointments
- monitor the progress of the sales funnel with appropriate notifications
- bring up the customer information
If anyone has suggestions on how to make this whole process less painful, I would appreciate it, but.....
I'm looking for the best way to link the full address to a button click to bring up the complete address on google maps. Not embed the map but initiate a new browser tab.
Thanks in advance
