Hello!

You need to use the Google or Apple Maps API in your APP, providing the georeference as parameters.

Please check this project as example:

Welcome to Thunkable.

Google Maps has a function called direction service which you can use it through Web API to get a list of route points that you can draw on the map.

This is an example

```auto
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json
  ?destination=37.773245%2C-122.469502
  &origin=37.773279%2C-122.468780
  &key=YOUR_API_KEY

```

You can see the documentation [here](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/get-directions)
