Step 3: Data Source - Custom Query

You have selected a custom SQL Query as the source for the points within this goMap instance. The structure of the goMap source is specific, and are detailed in the ReadMe located with the Data folder provided in the installation directory. Your query must provide values and appropriate names matching the required columns.

GoMap now supports the use of additional variables within the custom query. The following variables are built-in and are automatically replaced

@LATITUDE - The latitude of the center point of the map
@LONGITUDE - The longitude of the center point of the map
@RADIUS - The radius for the current map
@MINLATITUDE - The minimum latitude showing currently on the map
@MAXLATITUDE - The maximum latitude showing currently on the map
@MINLONGITUDE - The minimum longitude showing currently on the map
@MAXLONGITUDE - The maximum longitude showing currently on the map
@ZOOM - Current zoom level of the map
@LATITUDERADIUS - Latitudinal radius
@LONGITUDERADIUS - Longitudinal radius

You may also use some custom variables. The format is

[NAME,SOURCE,DEFAULT]

NAME - Name of the variable
SOURCE - Any of the following: SESSION, VIEWSTATE, FORM, QUERYSTRING, COOKIE, SYSTEM (for tabid or portalid)
DEFAULT - Optional. Default value to use if the variable does not contain a value

The variables will be recomputed every time the map has to fetch data. This includes clicking on the map and moving it around. Using the latitude and longitude ranges, you can show all of the points that would be currently visible to the user. Make sure your query takes advantage of these elements properly.
