!! Making Lots of Areas
If you need to make lots of area borders, you may not want to have to leave FileMaker every time to do it. We can customize ProMaps so that you can alter borders right inside the app. Here's an overview; contact us for details.

For the truly geeky, there is a way to get these coordinates using the Twitter API. This *could* be used to grab coordinates for specific city names though the lat / long would still need to be transposed.

We've also made customizations to automatically calculate the area (or neighborhood) for a given address. This mod works in FileMaker client and in WebDirect. %newwin% [[https://www.seedcode.com/contact | Contact ius]] for details.

You'll want to use GoogleMaps' online tools to construct the coordinates for each area you'd like to use in ProMaps. Follow the instructions below and you'll end up with a series of coordinates you can paste into the areas' Boarder Coordinates in ProMaps.

'''3.''' Please note that the kml format flips the order of latitude and longitude so you will need to reverse the numbers before pasting them into ProMaps areas. ProMaps uses the format of "latitude,longitude" with a comma separator, no space. This is kind of tedious, but you on need to do it once per area.

Added lines 34-38:
Note that if you end up with a very long list of values you need to transpose (need to switch the order of), you can use the script "Transpose Lat / Long" in ProMaps' "Developer" scripts folder. Read the script comments for instructions.
!! Going further
For the truly geeky, there is a way to get these coordinates using the Twitter API. This *could* be used to grab coordinates for specific city names though the lat / long would still need to be transposed.
