Notes/Tips:
1. When placing an interactive map on a page, a user can specify which template to use
2. On any record, the interactive map will try to find the template and apply its settings
3. To change the fields on the hover over, edit the **compact layout** of the object (Ex. Asset object)
4. To better understand how a map template populates results on an object page, see following priority list:
1. Template Name - Defined during template creation
2. Record Id - (record id of page where map is placed)
1. Can be defined in template creation or else it will automatically get the record id of record where map is placed
5. Salesforce Object - Automatically fetches the Salesforce Object and can't be defined
