Can you please tell me if there is a way to display geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude)? I try to do everything through the component "Location sensor

 ![location sensor](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/e/de770fb811f6eeca76f7cb0af0910317e2e805e4.jpeg)  
" - but it doesn’t work ☹

@lavrynenko I recreated your blocks and had they worked for me. Changing the text hint to my current lat and longitude.

I had to turn my browser permissions on for location sharing. Is that the error?

Do you actually want lat, lon in the `hint` of the text\_input instead of the `text`.

The `hint` will only show if the text\_input is empty.

Friends, thanks for your help - everything worked fine after 24 hours without changing the code. Apparently there was some kind of software glitch.

Thank you!
