Google Maps and database tutorial

This tutorial shows how to setup and use the database: http://help.tiggzi.com/getting-starte...

This video also shows to add database to your app: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upbdwu...

This shows how to add markers to Google Map: https://getsatisfaction.com/tiggzi/to...

You would need to save the locations in database and then simply create markes and place them on the map (via Google Map API).

Thanks Max,

From, "http://help.gotiggr.com/getting-start...", I have progressed successfully to step 12, but when I "Click Populate Response Structure" nothing happens?

Did you get the JSON response as shown in the previous step?

Test was successful and the records within the collection appeared in the Response dialog box.

I went ahead and manually added three fields in the Response Parameter section, created the service, mapped the lat / long to the UI. When I test, have yet to figure out the placemarker step, so nothing showing on the map component.

If you get a valid JSON repsonse, then 'Populate Response Structure' should work. What happens when you click on that button? Can you attach a screen shot?

Max, I spoke too soon. Went back in a couple of hours later and went through the process again, and structure was there. On to the placemarker...
