Add Location Details to SharePoint Data and Content
We are pleased with this addition and hope to see this feature option soon. Will we be able to convert columns with address info (currently using multiple lines of text) into a location column?

James Jackson We have a SharePoint list we are using to track Candidates to hire. Distance from the client is an important differentiator. Can we somehow use this location field to enter their address and be able to click on something to see where they are located on a map? Currently we have to copy and paste their address into a browser to see where they are located.

We don't currently have a way to do this, but can look into it if there is substantial interest
Well, we are very interested. We have several contact lists that have separate fields for street address, city, state and zip and it would be great to be able to simply convert those to location columns based on the existing data.
