Base Module for Map Visualization in Odoo

Viin Map View is a foundational module enabling map-based visualization for various records in Odoo, such as contacts, employees, or custom routes. This module focuses on providing a flexible and customizable interface for integrating geographic data and map providers into Odoo views.

Key Features

Location Display: Markers for records with latitude and longitude.
Routing Support: Visualize routes between waypoints with optional polylines.
Customizable Popups: Define information displayed in marker popups.
Flexible Providers: Compatible with OpenStreetMap, Google, Mapbox, and HERE.

Usage Notes

This module only provides the core map interface (view). Specific functionalities, such as integrating contacts or employees with maps, require additional modules. For example:

To show contacts on the map, a separate integration module must link the viin_web_map interface with the contacts model.
Demo videos use such integration modules to showcase functionality beyond the scope of this module.

Examples

Overview

The viin_web_map module allows you to integrate interactive maps into your Odoo system. It provides functionality for displaying locations and routes directly on the map, making it ideal for location-based applications. The module allows you to configure and visualize both individual locations (using markers) and routes (using waypoints).

Key Features

Location Display: Display location data using markers on the map.
Route Visualization: Visualize routes between multiple waypoints.
Customizable Popups: Customize the information shown in map marker popups.
Google Directions: Optionally show directions using the Google Directions API.
Automatic Polyline Generation: Polyline is automatically generated from waypoints if not explicitly defined.
Flexible Configuration: Easily configure and extend the map to suit your needs.

Installation

Install the viin_web_map module via the Odoo Apps interface or using the following command:
```
odoo-bin -c <config_file> -i viin_web_map
```
Configure the Maps API key for one of the map service providers - Mapbox, Google, or HERE - if you want to use the location services provided by them.

Usage

Configuring the viin_map View

The viin_map view can be used to display locations or routes on the map. Below are examples of how to configure the view for different use cases.

### Displaying Location Data

To display locations as markers on the map, you can configure the viin_map view for a model like res.partner. The view will display each partner as a marker on the map with relevant information shown in a popup.

Example of a viin_map view displaying locations:

<record id="res_partner_view_map" model="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="name">res.partner.view.map</field>
    <field name="model">res.partner</field>
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <viin_map res_partner="id">
            <marker-popup>
                <field name="name" string="Name"/>
                <field name="mapping_address" string="Address"/>
            </marker-popup>
        </viin_map>
    </field>
</record>

Explanation: - res_partner="id": The map uses the id field from the res.partner model to locate the partner on the map. - marker-popup: Specifies the fields to show in the marker popup, in this case, the partner’s name and mapping_address.

### Displaying Routes

To display a route between multiple waypoints, you can configure the viin_map view with the routing="true" attribute. If the polyline field is not explicitly defined, it will be automatically generated from the waypoints.

Example of a viin_map view displaying a route:

<record id="view_route_route_map" model="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="name">route.route.viin_map</field>
    <field name="model">route.route</field>
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <viin_map res_partner="address_from_id"
            routing="true"
            waypoint_field="waypoint_ids"
            polyline_field="polyline">
            <field name="waypoint_ids" />
            <field name="polyline" />
            <marker-popup>
                <field name="code" string="Ref."/>
                <field name="mapping_address" string="Instructions"/>
            </marker-popup>
        </viin_map>
    </field>
</record>

Explanation: - routing="true": Enables the route functionality, allowing the map to display a route between multiple waypoints. - waypoint_field="waypoint_ids": Defines the field that holds the list of waypoints used to calculate the route. - polyline_field="polyline": Optional. If omitted, the polyline will be auto-generated from the waypoints. - field name="waypoint_ids": Displays all the waypoints on the map.

### Automatically Generating Polyline from Waypoints

When you configure a route with waypoints but do not specify a polyline field, the polyline is automatically generated based on the coordinates of the defined waypoints. This allows you to visualize the route without manually defining the polyline.

Example:

<record id="view_route_route_map_auto_polyline" model="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="name">route.route.viin_map.auto_polyline</field>
    <field name="model">route.route</field>
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <viin_map res_partner="address_from_id"
            routing="true"
            waypoint_field="waypoint_ids">
            <field name="waypoint_ids" />
               <marker-popup>
                <field name="code" string="Ref."/>
                <field name="mapping_address" string="Instructions"/>
            </marker-popup>
        </viin_map>
    </field>
</record>

### Required Fields for Routing

When using routing="true", the following fields are required: - waypoint_field: Defines the waypoints for the route. - res_partner: Always mandatory in all viin_map views.

If polyline_field is not specified, it is automatically generated from the waypoints.

Error Handling

Ensure all required fields are defined in the viin_map view. Missing required fields, such as waypoint_field, will result in validation errors.

Customizing the Map View

You can customize the map by adding or modifying fields in the marker-popup or by introducing additional attributes to the viin_map tag.

Example of a custom map view:

<record id="view_custom_route_map" model="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="name">route.route.custom_map</field>
    <field name="model">route.route</field>
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <viin_map res_partner="address_from_id"
            routing="true"
            waypoint_field="waypoint_ids">
            <field name="waypoint_ids" />
            <field name="custom_field" string="Custom Info"/>
            <marker-popup>
                <field name="code" string="Ref."/>
                <field name="mapping_address" string="Instructions"/>
                <field name="custom_field" string="Additional Information"/>
            </marker-popup>
        </viin_map>
    </field>
