In FSM, what is the purpose of the Google Maps API for Business?

• A. Real-time traffic
• B. Route optimization
• C. Geolocation
• D. Map rendering

Answer: (C)

Geolocation is what the Google Maps API for Business provides in FSM. It’s about pinpointing exact locations by turning street addresses into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) and vice versa. This lets FSM plot technicians, customers, and work orders on a map, measure distances, and lay the groundwork for route planning and dispatch decisions. Real-time traffic and map rendering are related capabilities, but the essential function here is determining precise locations from addresses so you can locate resources and plan routes effectively.
