Locations

Many of the fields we’ve discussed are available on other productivity and project management tools, but this one is not something I've seen anywhere else!

This field type stores a location value from Google Maps as a field in your cards. While this may not be useful for every board, if you work with location data for jobs or are planning events or trips, this field will prove invaluable for helping you literally map out your workflow.

Note that this field is only available for Premium and Enterprise workspaces.

Why use location?

Although not every board will need to use location, it can be incredibly handy if you need to see multiple locations and how they relate to each other. With the Map view, you can view all of these cards plotted on a map and see how close they are in relation to others. It’s perfect for planning an order delivery, creating itineraries for trips, or organizing an address book.
