Location field type and Mapview

[nileshtrivedi]

This requires a bit of planning but would be a very useful addition.

Location field can be implemented in many ways:

• Latitude/Longitude as separate float columns
• or, postGIS's POINT type columns
• or a human-readable address (useful when collecting via forms etc)
• or systems that support flexible precision like Google's Plus Codes

But assuming location is somehow available per-record, it can be rendered as markers or polygons on a mapview (OpenStreatMap or LeafletJS can do this in a royalty-free way, but Google Maps / MapBox etc are other alternatives.

Airtable supports this with an extension.
