Beskrivning

Occasionally, locations may fail to geocode accurately. The actual location may be down the street or across the road from the geocoded location. By adding Verified Latitude and Longitude fields to an object, you can manually place a marker in the correct location. Moreover, you can configure Maps to read from those fields when you plot markers.
