Advanced Map View

A first-class Odoo map view type — fullscreen, picture-in-picture, area zoom, routes and distance measurement on any model with coordinates

✓ Odoo 19.0 Compatible ✓ Community & Enterprise ✓ No CDN dependency

Advanced Map View registers a brand-new grev_map view type alongside Odoo’s standard list, kanban and form views. Any model exposing latitude and longitude fields can be visualised on a Leaflet map — with fullscreen mode, a floating picture-in-picture window, drag-rectangle area zoom, ordered route polylines, and a click-to-measure distance tool. It plugs into Odoo’s view-switcher, search panel, pager and breadcrumbs exactly like a native view.

Core Features

🗺

Native View Type

Declare <grev_map> in any window action just like list or kanban — Odoo’s view switcher, breadcrumbs, pager and search panel work out of the box.

⛶

Fullscreen Mode

Expand the map to the entire viewport for war-room style monitoring, then collapse back into the standard Odoo layout in a single click.

🖼

Picture-in-Picture

Detach the map into a floating, draggable window so it stays visible while you work on forms, lists or reports in the main view.

🔍

Area Zoom

Drag a rectangle on the map to zoom precisely to a region — perfect for inspecting dense clusters of records without endless scroll-zooming.

🛣

Route Polylines

Set routing="1" with a timestamp field to draw an ordered polyline through records — ideal for trips, deliveries and inspections.

📏

Distance Tool

Click successive points on the map to measure distances using the haversine formula — with running totals shown live.

🎨

Color by Field

Use color_field to colour markers by a selection or many2one field — categorise records visually at a glance.

🗾

Multiple Tile Layers

Choose from CARTO Voyager, Positron, Dark Matter, OpenStreetMap or Humanitarian OSM — configurable per view via the tile_layer attribute.

🔗

Side Panel & Popups

Declare <field> children to render rich popups and a synchronized side panel listing every record on the map.

Built For Any Geo Model

🏢 Customers & Partners

Plot your res.partner records on a map by exposing their latitude and longitude — cluster prospects, route sales reps, visualise territories.

🚚 Fleet & Deliveries

Visualise vehicles, stops or shipments. Combine with the routing option to draw the actual delivery sequence on the map.

📡 IoT & Sensor Data

Display GPS pings, environmental sensors or asset positions in real time, with custom popup fields for telemetry data.

📍 Projects & Sites

Map project tasks, field service interventions, construction sites or rental locations — any business object with coordinates.

Add It To Any Model In Seconds 

<record id="view_partner_grev_map" model="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="name">res.partner.grev.map</field>
    <field name="model">res.partner</field>
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <grev_map lat_field="partner_latitude"
                  lng_field="partner_longitude"
                  color_field="category_id"
                  default_zoom="6"
                  panel_title="Partners">
            <field name="display_name"/>
            <field name="city"/>
            <field name="country_id"/>
        </grev_map>
    </field>
</record>

Then add grev_map to your action’s view_mode — a new map button appears in the view switcher next to list and kanban.

Advanced Map View - Documentation

A first-class Odoo view type that renders any model with latitude and longitude fields on an interactive Leaflet map &mdash; with fullscreen, picture-in-picture, area zoom, ordered route polylines and a click-to-measure distance tool.

Overview

Advanced Map View registers a new grev_map view type alongside Odoo's standard list, kanban and form views. It plugs into the view-switcher, breadcrumbs, search panel and pager exactly like a native view, so any model that exposes geographic coordinates can gain a fully featured map UI without a single line of JavaScript.

The module ships only the view type itself &mdash; it has no opinions about which records you map. Point it at customers, fleet vehicles, deliveries, sensors, project sites, rental assets or any custom model.

Key Features

  1. Native ``grev_map`` view type &mdash; declared like list or kanban in any ir.actions.act_window view mode
  2. Fullscreen mode &mdash; expand the map to the entire viewport for monitoring
  3. Picture-in-picture &mdash; detach the map into a floating window that stays visible while you work elsewhere in Odoo
  4. Area zoom &mdash; drag a rectangle to zoom precisely to a region
  5. Distance tool &mdash; click successive points to measure distances using the haversine formula, with running totals
  6. Route polylines &mdash; draw an ordered path through records using a timestamp field
  7. Color by field &mdash; colour markers by a selection or many2one field
  8. Side panel and rich popups &mdash; declare <field> children to render contextual information for each record
  9. Five built-in tile layers &mdash; CARTO Voyager, Positron, Dark Matter, OpenStreetMap and OpenStreetMap HOT

Note

This module is compatible with both Odoo Community and Odoo Enterprise editions. It depends only on base and web &mdash; there is no Enterprise-only requirement and no CDN dependency for the Leaflet library.

Installation

  1. Copy the grev_od_map_view module into your Odoo addons path
  2. Update the apps list from :menuselection:`Apps --> Update Apps List`
  3. Search for Advanced Map View and click :guilabel:`Install`

Usage

Declaring a Map View

Create an ir.ui.view record whose architecture root is <grev_map> and reference it from any window action. The two attributes lat_field and lng_field are required.

<record id="view_partner_grev_map" model="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="name">res.partner.grev.map</field>
    <field name="model">res.partner</field>
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <grev_map lat_field="partner_latitude"
                  lng_field="partner_longitude"
                  color_field="category_id"
                  default_zoom="6"
                  panel_title="Partners">
            <field name="display_name"/>
            <field name="city"/>
            <field name="country_id"/>
        </grev_map>
    </field>
</record>

Then add grev_map to the action's view_mode:

<record id="action_partner_map" model="ir.actions.act_window">
    <field name="name">Partners on Map</field>
    <field name="res_model">res.partner</field>
    <field name="view_mode">grev_map,list,form</field>
</record>

Supported Attributes

The <grev_map> root tag accepts the following attributes:

Attribute Required Description
lat_field Yes Float field holding the latitude of each record
lng_field Yes Float field holding the longitude of each record
timestamp_field No Date/datetime field used to order records when routing="1"
color_field No Selection or many2one field driving the marker colour
routing No Set to "1" to draw a polyline through ordered records
default_zoom No Initial Leaflet zoom level (default 13)
tile_layer No One of carto_voyager (default), carto_positron, carto_dark, osm, osm_hot
panel_title No Title shown at the top of the side panel
limit No Page size for the side panel (default 200)

<field> children declared inside <grev_map> are loaded with the records and shown both in the side panel and in the marker popup.

Map Toolbar

Once a grev_map view is open, the floating toolbar offers:

Tip

The picture-in-picture window survives navigation, so you can keep an eye on live records while editing forms in another tab of the same Odoo session.

Compatibility

  • Odoo: 19.0 (Community and Enterprise)
  • Dependencies: base, web
  • Vendored library: Leaflet (no external CDN required at runtime &mdash; tile layers are fetched from CARTO and OpenStreetMap public endpoints)
