Your forum topic title should be a very short summary of your question, just a few words.

If you are using a “get value” data source block, then you will not get updated values from your database. See this: [Google Sheets data source doesn't update every time - #6 by matt\_conroy](https://community.thunkable.com/t/google-sheets-data-source-doesnt-update-every-time/2504230/6)

You would need to use Firebase or an API. I like Airtable’s filterByFormula API command.

**Edit:** I hope it’s okay I change it from this:

> The discussion is about developing a tracking system app for scooters, encountering issues with retrieving latitude and longitude from the database and showing correct directions on Google Maps.

To this:

> Tracking system latitude/longitude from database, Google Maps directions
