Field Description
Collection type There are currently four different kinds of types available Choose one of Point, Radius, Area and Route
Title Give your marker a title:
Address Type in the address to search for in the map below. If Google Maps have found an address, it may be that your address will be a little bit reformatted.
Latitude If you you know the exact latitude you can type it in here. We prefer to generate the latitude over the address field and search.
Longitude If you you know the exact longitude you can type it in here. We prefer to generate the longitude over the address field and search.
Radius This field is only available for type Radius. Type in the radius of your marker or resize the radius on the map to update that field.
Map If you are connected with the internet and have configured the Api Keys correctly you should see Google Maps here with a Marker. With a click on the map or drag’n drop you can move the marker around the map. If you have moved the marker the fields latitude and longitude will be updated.

Fill color In case of Area and Radius you can choose a color to fill your marker. If not set we get that value from Extensionmanager configuration.
