Hi all,

Is there a possibility to retrieve the longitude/latitude/zoomlevel of the location the user browsed to when using the map?

(Meaning: when first called, the map of the lon/lat/zoom that I set programmatically is displayed. When a user zooms in, or moves the map, can I retrieve the lon/lat/zoom of the location that the user moved to?  
In the current version of ThunkableX, when I use the get blocks for the map, I only get the initial coordinates that were set in the map, and the map ‘resets’ to its initial location and zoom level)

Thanks for any help!

Hi,

Unfortunately, the current version of Thunkable X supports updating properties only by modifying them with blocks. Indirect property update is not supported.
