Hello all,
We've introduced a new way to work with location data in Zoho CRM: the Map View. Instead of scrolling through endless lists, your records now appear as pins on a map.
Built on top of the all-new address field and powered by Mappls (MapMyIndia), the Map View turns your records into an interactive map for smarter planning, faster visits, and better field execution.
Until now, even if addresses were stored in Zoho CRM, users had to search through lists manually or run broad filters to find location insights. There was no quick way to spot nearby leads, contacts, or other opportunities while traveling, or to plan visits efficiently.
Map View solves this by plotting records on an interactive map based on the coordinates available in the address field. You can zoom in, filter for records within a radius, sort by distance, and launch navigation—all without leaving the module.
You can enable Map View via Setup > Modules and Fields > Preferences.
Once enabled, Map View appears in the module's view selector.
Records without coordinates appear in the left pane, ready for updates.
You can add or correct coordinates in multiple ways, each designed to save time and improve accuracy:
You can also move a pin to update only the geo-coordinates instead of the entire address.
These controls keep both the visual map and the address field aligned, and reduce the need for users to manually rearrange pins later.
2. Apply nearby filters and sort by distance
Custom views and smart filters now include a "nearby" condition that helps narrow down records based on proximity. You can instantly focus on the records that matter most.
Simply choose your reference location and then set a radius (preset or custom).
You can choose the reference point in different ways:
When a nearby filter is applied, a radius circle appears on the map, and a distance column is added in the list view. You can also choose to display this distance on map pin cards. These details help prioritize visits, deliveries, or follow-ups based on how far records are from your chosen point.
3. Customize the view for quick decisions
You can decide which fields are shown both in the left pane and on the map pins. This ensures the most useful information is always visible at a glance.
The capabilities of Zoho CRM's all-new address field and map view aren't just limited to your web app; they're now supported in the mobile app as well.
Previously, you could use the Near Me mobile feature in the map view, which uses Google Maps (Android and iOS) or Apple Maps (iOS) to show records within a 100 KM radius of your current location or a custom location.
With the latest enhancements, you can now access the Mappls-powered map view in Zoho CRM's mobile app. Simply enable the map view and address suggestions for the address field in the web app, and turn on the in-app map view from the app's map settings.
Once enabled, you can:
