Hey @skully1466

Check out these docs. They should be helpful.

Hi Jared,

Thanks for replying, but what I meant was to type in an input field and on button press you add a marker based on input value eg.“an address”

I dont like bringing in other platforms, but in Adalo i could search but not get users current location and in Thunkable it visa versa.

Do I have to geocode and use web api to convert my address to lat and long?

Yes you do have to use an API, here’s the API Link

Depending on what you want.

https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=centurylink+field

This will give you the map location by address. You can use it as the URL for the Web Viewer.
