Identify accounts along route (ie define a route and then show accounts, opposite of identify accounts and plot a route)
The idea is, if I'm driving from X to Y show me all accounts not far from that route. One could fake it with a shape search but this would be cleaner and faster.

Need Full-screen View
Our Sales managers keep defaulting to Google Earth so I asked them why?
1) Full-screen - they like the large full screen in Earth and say Geopointe screen is too small/confined..
2) Distant Measurement - they have to measure distances between selected points
Currently I'm having to export a bunch of KML exports from Geopointe on a weekly basis, so they can view SF data in Earth..

Specify Actions for Datasets
Actions are control by object data. Create a method to limit actions to specific datasets. When mapping specific data on the map, allow actions to execute on the specific data matching the action. i.e. Allow actions on data for a reps territory but not allow actions on all data.

route times
We use servicemax for salesforce which assigns work orders to technicians with a scheduled start time. Work orders are a custom salesforce object. We would like to see the ability to use the scheduled times from the mapped work order object to create a route by technician.

Refresh Results from Actions
We have several actions that change the data on the records displayed. We would like to see the ability to refresh the results after firing a custom action. Or have a button to refresh the data in the results grid.

Stylize Map to Black & White for better visibility of markers
I'd like the ability to have the road-based map stylized in black and white for better visibility of the markers. I know that OpenMaps has this option, not sure if I've seen this in Google's native API, but I have seen this desaturation trick work:

This really makes the markers "pop" but you do not lose the usefulness of the roads/boundaries.
2 votesLove the idea. The consideration on our end is that Google has limitation on how many styled maps are loaded in a day. While I don’t see this as a huge use case, it’s what we have to consider before just implementing this.

export to csv using multibytes
I have noticed that when using the export to cvs button, it export the data without using multibytes, letter with accent (é,è,à,...) in names, streets, cities for international customers are replace by wierd characters. Could you please update this function as it would be a major improvment for us?

External layers allow browse to hard drive
I have KML files on my hard drive and don't want to use an external url for mapping. I would like the opportunity to browse for a KML file
4 votesWe are looking into this. Currently, Google needs to be able to access the file from their servers. More likely than a harddrive mapping would be an upload option.

Sorting chart results by record count
It would be nice to be able to sort the charted results by record count; current default is alphabetical I believe. Sorting records high to low and low to high would be useful.

Partner with a data provider for lead gen
I think you should partner with a 3rd party data provider (similar to Data.com) so you can map your existing records as well as search for new ones to easily build a pipeline.

Add option do remove markers from the maps after they are added to the route.
This would help when creating routes using big datasets (not allowing to add duplicates)
21 votesWe will look into it, but will like more feedback from people on this.

Export formal reports - reporting feature.
A formal reporting feature within Geopointe would be helpful. I'd like to take the data and map and be able to export it into a report that would be clean and easy to read for our reps out in the field.
25 votesLove the idea, but would like more people to jump in on this idea before we really get into it. It’s an open-ended idea with lots of possibilities. Looking for some more direction.

Creating Defined Territories with Colored Polygon Shaped Layers
I think it would be great if we can define territories based on specified colored polygon shaped layers that can be customized. For example, if I had a liaison in the LA area that had a defined territory based on the shape we define on the map, and not by zip code or something, it would help with visualization.

It would be nice to have the ability to somehow lookup a Salesforce record directly from the map so it could be added to a route

Generate a 'trip list' in a specifically selected order (without directions), with account details (addresses), for GPS inputing on the fly
An offshoot of the routes & directions option.
Generate a 'trip list' in a specifically selected order (without directions), with account details (addresses), for GPS inputing on the fly once on the road.
Sort of a "print this route to pdf" as a list format, before clicking "Get Route".
2 votesCan you give more detail as to how you input into a GPS? The reason I ask is that there are file types (.gpx comes to mind) that many GPS devices support. How do you enter data? Does your GPS allow you to import files? Can you email it a file for importing?

Change a data set color on the fly
I'd love to be able to go to the map legend and change the data set color within the legend or on the map.
4 votesWe are looking into ways we can allow you to manipulate data once its already on the map. It’s not what you are asking for, but one thing we did roll out is a charting feature that lets you analyze data once it’s on the map. See http://www.arrowpointe.com/2013/07/18/geopointe-july-2013-release/ for some info on that.

Allow Spatialkey Join to go back into Salesforce Records
We use Spatialkey to match records to boundaries they're physically located in. We then use that information back in Salesforce for reporting. Right now, we have to export the data from SpatialKey and import it into Salesforce using the Data Loader. It would be great to have this happen automatically.
5 votesWe love this idea, but really need the community to give lots of real use cases for this so we can work with SpatialKey on it. They are open to the idea, but need to see the demand.

Ability to save a specific search
Data Sets are great and very flexible, but I'd love to be able to save a detailed search. Perhaps I want to regularly search 50 miles around a specific address and color the pins by a certain field. I'd love to be able to bookmark that situation and run it rather than having to recreate it manually.
It's not difficult to recreate the search, but being able to save those very specific searches could be nice.
