How does the Maps feature in Vtiger work?

The Maps feature in Vtiger might look tricky, but you will realize that it is really a simple process once you understand it. So let us start from scratch.

Firstly, you need to know what Maps can do. Vtiger provides the following map-related features:

• Search for an address from the map view in the app.
• View nearby contacts in the app.
• Provide check-in with geofencing for onsite meetings. 

Secondly, to deliver these features, Vtiger converts the street address in Contact, Organization, and Lead records to latitude and longitude values. This process is referred to as Geocoding. Through geocoding, Maps will take you to your preferred location.
