Display Location Maps within SharePoint Lists using Geolocation Column In SharePoint 2013

Editor’s note: The following post was written by SharePoint MVP Asif Rehmani

A new built in functionality in SharePoint 2013 is the
ability to show maps (spatial data) directly within a list or library using the
Geolocation site column. Imagine having a list of your sales representatives in
a list and being able to show their location directly on a map within
SharePoint. Pretty powerful stuff!

The embedded video below demonstrates how to configure and
use the Geolocation site column directly within your SharePoint list or
library.
