Using Online Map to Find Directions

When you plan a visit to, for example, a customer or a vendor, you can get a map with route directions from your online map service. Online Map is accessible from the following cards in Microsoft Dynamics NAV by clicking the pushpin icon next to the Country/Region Code field: Location Card, Customer Card, Vendor Card, Company Information, Resource Card, Job Card, Ship-to Address, Order Address, Bank Account Card, Contact Card, Employee Card.

Note:

The pushpin icon is only visible on the cards if the Online Map Setup Parameter table contains records. Read Setting Up Online Map to see how you can import a set of default records.

By selecting buttons from the selection window, you can quickly get maps and directions to/from two different types of destinations: To/from your company and the address you look up in the card, or to/from any address to/from any other address.

To Get Directions in Online Map to/from your company:

  1. Open a card (Location Card, Customer Card, Vendor Card, Company Information, Resource Card, Job Card, Ship-to Address, Order Address, Bank Account Card, Contact Card, Employee Card).

  2. Click the pushpin icon next to the Country/Region Code or Post Code/City field to open a selection window.

  3. Select the From My Company button.
