Parse KML to put pins on a map

We will populate points on a map from a KML that we upload to the platform

Overview

In many use cases, we need to use GIS data to drive data collection. In this guide we will walk through creating an object to store a KML file, we will sync that object to the local devices and parse the KML within a workflow.

What we will accomplish

We will walk through how we define data objects which can hold data such as files. We will sync the data objects and files down to the local device where a workflow will load and parse the KML. We will take the point locations from the KML and place them on a map.

For bonus points we will add color to the points on the map
