As in you want to display the Map? or you want GPS coordinate?

You need to be more clear I think.

Google Map already available in EspoCRM, I guess you can look through it and see how it work and implement for Apple. But it Apple, I doubt they give out API do they?

I already know Google Maps but I would like to add a link to apple maps or waze to have a redirection to the GPS on mobile...
Do you know how to do ?

Ah, I suggest you use formula my friend.

Here do I did mine to Open up a Business Search on my system:

https://docs.espocrm.com/administration/formula/

You can learn how to use formula or testing there. Use Sandbox Formula in the Admin to play around if you like.

searchEngineAccount = string\concatenate(
"Apple Search: ", 'https://www.applewebsitehere.com?SearchText=', billingAddressStreet,
'\n', "test new line",
'Waze Search: ', 'https://www.wazewebsitehere.com/search=', billingAddressStreet)​

I have a new custom field call SearchEngineAccount
address, most entity have it (Contact/Account)
\n for new lines
"test new line" is text you can add
the URL and search code you have to find out yourself.
Apply Search: is another text line you can edit, you can add more or less "string\concatenate" if you want.

Result:




As you can see the code contain bug, which you can learn to fix and play. You need a '\n' for new lines.

Good evening first of all thank you for your very useful answer but I still can't integrate these links in the address on the front-end of the prospect / account / customer?

Can you help me?
Thank you very much in advance

You have to show what you have done! If I don't know what you done so where to start?

Must learn and test, for all I know you might not even know where the Sandbox is or the Formula page is...
