Hi all,
I’m building a real estate CRM in Glide and one of the core features I want to implement is an interactive map that goes beyond simple pins. I could use some guidance (or possibly help from someone with mapping experience) on how to achieve this:
- Neighborhood Boundaries
- I have a
.kmlfile that already contains neighborhood boundary lines for a U.S. city. - Ideally, I’d like these polygons to display on the map inside Glide (or via an embedded solution).
- Polygon / Perimeter Drawing Tool
- I’d like users to be able to draw a polygon (or perimeter) on the map.
- Once drawn, the app should return all property addresses from my database (Google Sheets/Glide table) that fall inside that boundary.
Goals:
- Neighborhood boundaries are visible and styled clearly (outline + semi-transparent fill).
- Drawing/selecting an area filters or populates property records in the CRM.
- The map should be mobile-friendly and embeddable in Glide (likely via Web View if needed).
Tech I’m open to:
- Mapbox, Leaflet, or any other mapping library that can be embedded into Glide.
- A lightweight, future-proof approach since I’ll be scaling the property database to 1000+ records.
If anyone has tackled something similar in Glide (or with a custom embed), I’d love to hear how you approached it. If this requires some custom development, I’m also open to hiring someone who can set this up and show me how to maintain it.
Thanks in advance for any ideas, resources, or offers of help!
