It is simply a tool to show you how close your patients are to your practice, based on their address given.

Is it possible to map your entire active practice on one map?

I imagine there is some service out there where you could do this, but not from within Open Dental. You could start by running a query within Open Dental of all the patients' addresses and exporting the results to Excel or CSV format.

I'm not clear as to what I would do with the addresses after I do the query and export.

You could then upload the addresses to a website that can plot the addresses on Google Maps like https://www.easymapmaker.com/ or https://www.mapcustomizer.com.
