Hello everyone,
I am completely new to using/working with SharePoint. I'm having trouble trying to figure out what's the best way to implement the creation of a map that is populated with information given to me on an excel spreadsheet. The information given to me contains address information for the facilities currently being used by my agency. I want to be able to plot these facilities as points on a map that will be contained on my SharePoint site. I already have an ESRI web map installed (SharePoint admin installed) and I uploaded all the information on the excel spreadsheet to a SharePoint list. My methodology was to install ESRI maps for SharePoint, geocode the addresses, and then plot the information on the maps (seems simple enough right?). The problem is that I have heard through the grapevine that you need SharePoint server in order to install and use ESRI maps for SharePoint and I currently have only SharePoint 2010 workspace. Can someone confirm that I need server? Is there any way I can do the same process with workspace 2010? If not, can someone provide me with a small tutorial on how to geocode the SharePoint lists and plot the geocoded information as points on my map?
Thanks,
K
Does anyone have a solution?
Okay Update:
ESRI maps for SharePoint may not be a viable option so I was thinking about using JS to create a web map using the following source code: http://spgooglemapswpforspl.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest. The problem I have here is how can I create layers, change the symbol styles, etc... I also want to dynamically link the map to my SharePoint Lists.
