Hello, I’m pretty new to Thunkable but having a great time. I’m creating a map that shows a list of movie filming locations all around the world. I have an Airtable set up with a list of 900+ locations. Currently, I’ve got the map loading up in the app— but it’s taking FOREVER to load all of the l…

Firebase is much quicker, and I think easier to update, however you cant have assets in there. If it is pure coordinates, then yes firebase is better. But 900 locations is well way to much to do synchronously. Let me think on this. I would like to see what others say about it.

Thanks very much for your reply. Unfortunately it’s not just coordinates— I’ve got lat, lng, name, and snippet (and ideally, later, photos). I’ve got Firebase set up with my google sheets, so I can update the database through sheets— unfortunately I’m having a really tough time creating markers usin…

I’m also batting around the idea of simply using a combination of web viewer and linking to the google map— however I might be a little paranoid and am not too stoked on the idea of folks with competing film locations app being able to just launch the map and snag all my data. Wish there was a way t…

Bumping. Would love some help with this!

Hi Morgan, did you have any luck whit it? I am trying to do the same thing…

Hi @morgan_evans . I am trying to create an app that loads the longitudes and latitudes I have saved to Airtable as map markers. I’ve hit a roadblock and am curious how you initially coded your app. Would you be willing to share your code with me? If anyone else has advice of how to do this, please l…

Thank you, that helps a lot! For some reason, it still isn’t working. Could you help me troubleshoot? Below are pictures of my code and the Airtable spreadsheet: [Screenshot (46)] [Screenshot (45)]

This is close to what I would do! Instead of getting a row at a time. Get all rows and save all rows to a variable. You could exchange the variable “apiReaponse” for the response from an airtable get allRows call. First I get all my data, put those into lists, then add all the markers at once [im…

Hi @Morgan_Evans , @bobsunscreen and all the others, try to convert the latitude and longitude explicitely from string to float like this: [grafik] Sometimes (like fetching lat/long data from a database) the variable contains a string, and then you have to convert it. Multiplying with “1.0” does n…
