Geopointe integrates Force.com with Google Maps and MapQuest. Geopointe is the #1 Force.com geo/mapping solution providing numerous ways for end-users, administrators and developers to take advantage of geo data and maps.
Geopointe is currently available on the AppExchange. If you have questions about it before you try it, feel free to contact us using the Contact page. You may also find answers to your questions in the Help Center or on our Pricing page.
Map on Google or MapQuest Maps
Search your Salesforce data and plot it on the map.
Use data from standard or custom objects. Administrators and End-Users define Data Sets to specify the object to search, fields to return to the map and filters to apply. Users use the data sets when performing the searches.
With records on the map, options exist to get driving directions, export the data, add records to a Salesforce Campaign and lots more. It is very interactive, intuitive and deeply integrated with Salesforce
Multi-Point Driving Directions
Create multi-point driving directions right in Salesforce. Options exist for printing, saving and sending the directions. Optimized routing is also supported! These same saved routes are accessible/editable in Geopointe Mobile.
Automated Geocoding & Data Cleansing
The Geocoder is continuously running to ensure your data is ready to be mapped. A by-product of this process is cleaned up address data. The Geocoder will return quality codes to indicate how precisely it is able to determine latitude and longitude. For the high quality addresses, you will also get back a “cleansed” version of the address. Additionally, the County value is returned as a new piece of data.
Visualize
We have partnered with SpatialKey to bring you a full-featured Geo-Analytics solution. The solution provides a beautiful user interface for your analysis and supports record counts in the millions.
Geopointe Analytics is an add-on solution and requires an additional license. Learn more by visiting the blog post announcing the solution or by viewing a video overview of the user interface.
Within the core Geopointe app, we have built some Google Visualizations that let you perform aggregate queries against your data and see it summarized at a Country or State level.

Do you offer a trial?
Yes, simply install Geopointe from the AppExchange Listing and you will start a free 15-day, 5-user trial.
Do I need to license all of my users?
No, you only need to license the users that will be using Geopointe. From us, you license a number of users. Then, in Salesforce, you have the ability to designate which of your users occupy a license. You are free to swap people around as your needs change.
Do we have to purchase licenses from Google or MapQuest?
No. We have taken care of the licensing with the map providers. Your only expense is the per user, per month cost. The current pricing can be found on the AppExchange Listing.
What is the difference between using MapQuest or Google?
You have your choice of mapping provider, MapQuest or Google. In all cases, MapQuest is performing the geocoding. The mapping provider you choose is the one the user experiences when mapping under the Map tab. Other than the price difference, the main differences are:
- The look and feel of the maps is that of the provider. This is the most obvious difference.
- Google supports Street View so you can see locations from the street.
- The driving directions you obtain are from the provider's service.
Other than that, the choice is one of preference.
How much does it cost?
All pricing information is documented on the Pricing page.
Can it map standard and custom objects?
Yes, Geopointe supports mapping any custom object and nearly any standard object. The only requirement to make something mappable is the ability to add a custom Lookup field on an object.
Is Geopointe a native Salesforce app?
Yes, Geopointe is a 100% native app.
