This property allows to define how to display a location in Views. For example, map style, map size, zoom, hide/unhide coordinates. You can choose to display the location either as a text, button, or map thumbnail with or without coordinates. Either way is clickable and leads to Google Maps. If you click on mobile platforms, a corresponding application will be launched. |

On Edit |
This option automatically fills in the column with the current location value, when a new record is created and if the location field is empty. |
Help |
When the Help text property is filled in, the question mark is displayed near the field name on the View/Edit form. If you point to this question mark, the pop-up with a tip or a help text message will be shown. |
