web_map_extended

This module, made by Advance Insight, allows you to use the map view in Odoo Enterprise with other models besides the standard contacts and companies (the res.partner model).

How it works:

By default the map view can only be used with the res.partner model. This module alters the setup of the map view to allow other data sources, while keeping the view backwards compatible with the default behaviour.

How to use in your model

After installing the module, all you have to do in your target model is to inherit web_map_extended.marker:

class MyModel(models.Model):
    _name = 'my_module.my_model'
    _inherit = 'web_map_extended.marker'

Then, in your view record, add the map option:

    <record model="ir.actions.act_window" id="my_action_window">
      <field name="res_model">my_module.my_model</field>
      <field name="view_mode">tree,form,map</field>
    </record>

Setting the location

Option 1: using coordinates

By inheriting web_map_extended.marker your model gets access to a latitude and longitude field. To access these add them to your form or list view using <field name="latitude"/> and <field name="longitude" />. Set these to a valid geo coordinate to show the record on the map.

Option 2: using an address

You can add an address to your record by adding a field called contact_address_complete to your model (this name is used to stay compatible with the old web_map behaviour).

The address stored in the field will be resolved to a geo coordinate using OpenStreetMap, or any of the other map providers available. The following code snippet is an example of how the res.partner model defines and populates its contact_address_complete field:

    contact_address_complete = fields.Char(compute='_compute_complete_address', store=True)

    @api.depends('street', 'zip', 'city', 'country_id')
    def _compute_complete_address(self):
        for record in self:
            record.contact_address_complete = ''
            if record.street:
                record.contact_address_complete += record.street + ', '
            if record.zip:
                record.contact_address_complete += record.zip + ' '
            if record.city:
                record.contact_address_complete += record.city + ', '
            if record.state_id:
                record.contact_address_complete += record.state_id.name + ', '
            if record.country_id:
                record.contact_address_complete += record.country_id.name
            record.contact_address_complete = record.contact_address_complete.strip().strip(',')
