Hi! I want to make a timezoneapp. Therefore I try to use the canvac object and insert there a worldmap. But when I start my app on a phone I will never see the map. Hope somebody can help me there.

When I Live Test it in Chrome on a Mac, I see the map: ![Screen Shot 2020-11-29 at 3.33.09 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/3/230302dff8b765be39686925c2317e04a14009d1.jpeg) When I Live Test it in Thunkable Live on my iPhone 11, the screen is blank and the map does not appear. Your question is really about a sprite’s background picture not showing up on the stage. Technically, the problem has nothing to do with maps or timezones. ---

Here’s the weird thing: I created a new screen and added a canvas and gave the sprite the same image as a background and now it shows up (Screen2) on my phone. I don’t see any difference between the screen, canvas or sprite properties. 🤷 > **[Thunkable](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/6f07800c8b41b2f1d1587d9111255b55)** ---

Thanks for the answer. I notice when I select scrollable in screen the map will disappear. I want to use a big map which I can move from left to right to see the map clear and then I want to touch any point on the map to get the local date and time. Hope somebody can still help me how I can solve this. kindly regards ---

Check out this post. I think the problem is the height property. > [@The map component stopped working](http://community.thunkable.com/t/the-map-component-stopped-working/1023092/9): > > @Vaiper_watafai , I just ran into a similar problem and I think I have a solution. I think it may be a Thunkable Height issue, rather than a problem with the Google API. I created an app to illustrate the problem. [https://x.thunkable.com/copy/4e2548820f847693d87746cf78efaad8](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/4e2548820f847693d87746cf78efaad8) On the screen there are 3 columns, each with a map inside. The first column is set to height Fit Contents, the second is fill container, and the third is an absolute height. When I view the app on my android … I wonder if the Canvas component has the same problem as the Map component. Happy Thunking! ---

Hi! Thanks for your answer. I find now possible settings for the map but how can I drag the map to the right and left so the map will stop on the right or left side. When I drag the map to one side it will jump always back to the middle. hope someone can help me here again.

Thanks for the answer. I don’t know what you mean. I have changed the settings and now I will see the map on my screen when I start the app. But how can I scroll the map to the right or left side? Kindly regards ---
