After you create your custom object in Object Manager, create a lookup relationship between your object and the Maps Advanced Route Waypoint object.

  1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Object, and then select Object Manager.
  2. Select the Maps Advanced Route Waypoint object.
  3. Select Fields & Relationships, and then click New.
  4. On the New Custom Field page, under Data Type, select Lookup Relationship and click Next.
  5. From the Related To list, select your custom object, and click Next.
  6. On the New Relationship page, specify the field label and field name, and then click Next.
    You use Consumer Goods, and your custom routable object is RetailStore. The field label is RW_RetailStore, and the field name is RW_RetailStore__C.
  7. Configure optional field-level security and other settings for the custom object, and then click Save.
