Hi ddcld, You can get the coordinates of the cell phone position by using Map and Location Sensor, just use the following blocks: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/7/a72437721b63080690abdb4bdc69f9a1b7b4d447.png) and then you can also add a location marker my selecting “show user location” in the Maps advanced options ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/4/7/47c5ded8bda7aa41f090848a6f848a8bdbe9efed.png) Thanks Jacob ---

Thank you so much for the answer Unfortunately it does not work. My cell phone is a Honor 8 with Android 7.0 when running the code on the screen2 it exits the app. thanks for all the advice I can have from you. ---

Hi, If you give me a link to your project, then I’ll look at the reason for the crash app on Android. ---

Also in screen1 with only map1 and location\_sensor1create error and exit the application. In the classic version everything works wonderfully, BUT, I have the need to create an app for iOS. No one has had and solved this problem with Thunkable X ??? (sorry but my english is google translator) thank you all ---

I apologize to everyone. here is the story. January 2018 I created an app with Thunkable classic. for android. OK everything works great. the customer asks me to create the app for iOS too. Here is no longer Thunkable for iOS but Thunkable X. I start writing ONE APP for iOS and Android but some things they only work with other iOS only with Android … I think THUNKABLE is the best way to create apps quickly. Thanks for the advice you gave me, now on iOS works the part of recognition of the position PURTROPPO does not work on ANDROID. You are a fantastic community and I hope that I can contribute to it too solve some problems. Enzo ---

This information can be obtained using the Google Geocoding API. It looks something like this (use Web API component and parse JSON-response): ![getLocation](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/7/e/7ebdfcd1f0c2f9ffa5dc18f772f9da6e7589f2d6.png) Geocoding and reverse geocoding documentation. > **[Overview  |  Geocoding API  |  Google Developers](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/overview)** > > Geocoding converts addresses into geographic coordinates to be placed on a map. Reverse Geocoding finds an address based on geographic coordinates or place IDs. ---

Hi, Forced to disagree with you )). “address” is one of the possible parameters, and my code uses a link like: `https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=40.714224,-73.961452&key=YOUR_API_KEY` ---
