Map View
PremiumTurn any Dynamics 365 model-driven view or subgrid into an interactive map - color-coded pins, clustering, and a live legend.
Solzet Map View is a Premium dataset PCF control that shows the records of any Dynamics 365 model-driven view or subgrid as markers on an interactive Leaflet map. Bind a latitude and a longitude column (Decimal or Float) on any table and every record becomes a pin. Pins are colored by any choice, text or numeric column through one JSON color rules property, dense areas cluster and split apart as you zoom, and a legend filters the map live. Clicking a pin opens a record card with an Open action. The map follows the selected view and runs on web, tablet and the Field Service mobile app. It is a licensed control; contact us for licensing.
What does Map View do?
Dynamics 365 stores latitude and longitude on assets, functional locations, work orders, and countless custom tables - then shows them to you as rows in a grid, with the only real map locked inside the schedule board. Solzet MapView is a dataset PCF control that closes that gap: bind a latitude and a longitude column (Decimal or Float) on any view or subgrid of any table and every record becomes a marker on an interactive Leaflet map. Pins are colored by any Choice, text, or numeric column through a single JSON color-rules property - discrete values or numeric threshold bands - with optional glyphs such as bolt, wrench, warning, or building. Dense areas collapse into cluster bubbles that split apart as you zoom, a legend filters the map live, and clicking a pin opens a record card with real column display names, formatted values, and an Open action that launches the record in a new window so users never lose the map. The map follows the selected view - system views, personal views, filtered subgrids - and runs on web, tablet, and the Field Service mobile app. No plugins, no companion services, no per-record configuration: bind two columns and you have a map.
What problems does Map View solve?
MapView solves the spatial blind spots of model-driven apps:
- Maps are locked in the schedule board: asset managers, service managers, and field technicians never see their records spatially - MapView puts the map where the records already are, on a view, a dashboard, or a parent record's subgrid
- Location data stays invisible: customer assets and functional locations carry coordinates nobody ever looks at - on a map, coverage gaps, regional density, and misplaced records become obvious in seconds
- Status lives in a column, not on the map: conditional coloring by any Choice, text, or numeric column - including numeric bands such as < 10 kV, 10-110 kV and > 110 kV - makes the answer visible at a glance
- Grids hide the big picture: 500 records in one city and 3 in another look identical in a list, while smart clustering shows the real distribution and splits apart as you zoom in
- Filtering means exporting to Excel: the built-in legend filters live with checkbox multi-select, live counts, tri-state select all, and a one-click Only isolation - and the map always respects the selected view's own filters, personal views included

Premium control - licensing required
Map View is a commercial, licensed control. Contact us for licensing and pricing for your organization.
How do I install and configure Map View?
Setup takes a few minutes in the Power Apps maker portal. No code, no developer tools.
- 1
Get the solution package
- Map View is a licensed control. Your licence comes with the managed solution package (.zip) to import.
- 2
Import it into your environment
- Sign in to make.powerapps.com and pick the target environment in the top right corner.
- Open Solutions, select Import solution, choose Browse, pick the .zip and select Next, then Import.
- Wait for the "imported successfully" message. Importing needs the System Administrator or System Customizer role.
- 3
Check the prerequisites
- Latitude and longitude columns on the table, Decimal or Float, in WGS84 decimal degrees (precision 5 recommended).
- For production use, a map tile provider of your own (for example MapTiler or Azure Maps). OpenStreetMap tiles are the default and suit evaluation and light internal use.
- 4
Add Map View to a view or subgrid
- Open a view of any table that has latitude and longitude columns, or a subgrid of that table on a form: Tables, your table, then Views, or a subgrid on one of its forms.
- In the view or subgrid properties, open Components, select + Component and choose Map View. In the classic designer the same option is on the Controls tab.
- Pick where it should show (Web, Phone, Tablet), set the properties below and select Done.
- 5
Save, publish and test
- Select Save and publish, then open a record. If the old control still shows, refresh the page with Ctrl+F5 to clear the cached form.
- To update later, import the newer .zip the same way. Power Apps upgrades the existing solution and keeps your form settings.
Which properties do I set?
| Property | What to set |
|---|---|
| Latituderequired | Decimal or Float column with the latitude. |
| Longituderequired | Decimal or Float column with the longitude. |
| Display name | Text column used as the pin title. Defaults to the primary name column. |
| Category | Choice, text or numeric column that decides each pin color. |
| Tile layer URL | A {z}/{x}/{y} tile URL template from your tile provider. Defaults to OpenStreetMap. |
| Tile attribution | The attribution text your tile provider requires. |
| Color rules (JSON) | Category to color mapping, for example [{"value":"126630000","color":"#E45B4F","label":"High voltage","icon":"bolt"}] for a choice column (use the raw option values), or min/max bands for numbers. |
| Default marker color | Hex color for records that match no rule. |
| Popup columns | Up to 5 column logical names, comma separated, shown on the record card. |
| Map height | Height in pixels on forms. On full-page views the map fills the available space. |
Good to know
- Records without coordinates are left off the map and counted in an on-map indicator. The control does not geocode addresses.
- Pin icons for color rules: circle (default), home, bolt, wrench, star, flag, warning, building.
- Views over 50,000 records switch to loading only the visible map area.

What do buyers ask about Map View?
What does Solzet Map View do?
It renders the records of a model-driven view or subgrid as markers on an interactive Leaflet map, using latitude and longitude columns. It puts a map where the records already are, on a view, a dashboard or a parent record's subgrid, rather than only inside the schedule board.
What data does Map View need?
A latitude and a longitude column, Decimal or Float, on the table behind the view or subgrid. There are no plugins, no companion services and no per-record configuration: bind the two columns and the records appear on the map.
Can pins be colored by status or value?
Yes. A single JSON color rules property colors pins by any Choice, text or numeric column, using discrete values or numeric threshold bands, with optional glyphs such as bolt, wrench, warning or building. The legend filters live with checkbox multi-select, live counts, select all and a one-click Only isolation.
Does Map View respect view filters and work on mobile?
Yes. The map follows the selected view, including system views, personal views and filtered subgrids, and runs on web, tablet and the Field Service mobile app. Clicking a pin opens a record card, and its Open action launches the record in a new window so users keep the map.
Is Map View free?
No. Map View is a Premium, licensed control. Contact us through the form on this page or the licensing button above for licensing for your organization.
