Is there a way to construct a view specific to Google Soalr API - Project Sunroof (link below) so when our canvassers are out in a neighborhood they can see the heatmap throug the api.

What are you hoping your users will be able to do with the heat map?

We would like our sales reps to see the layer of the map when knocking doors using glide apps… They canvas were the brightest top layers, and we would like to interface that on glide apps and also locating their location while knocking. We’ve made a couple different automations in the past, where they can flip a switch and it would Geo locate the exact address they were standing at when knocking and start a data entry process upon finding a new lead, but we would love to integrate project sunroof, and something native that glide has to offer with their maps if possible, or a secondary solution. Also we came to the realization that there are limits for how many leads are displayed inside of maps so I do have a question there if you know any details about that

Ya…can’t do much with layering maps on top of Glide’s map component…You could probably use the API to show the heatmap and the user’s current location though (if the API allowed for that).
