Hello fellow bubblers i am building a marketplace spa and want my users to be able to see the directions on maps (from buyer to seller)
i tried using the maps extended plugin but its causing alot of issues and workload spikes so what alternatives do i have ( also keep in mind im building this to be native for mobile and am using natively).
Any and all insights will be greatly appreciated.

i already have this, i want to display the directions on my app itself though
Oh, you’d need to do that through an API…lots of providers, but most obvious would be Google.
Hmm but theres not documentation out there for doing it on bubble and for someone like me without any coding experience it would be pretty hard implementing the webhooks,
Alright Thank you very much for your insights.
If you search Maps on the plugin store there’s a few, one by ZQ that uses Google Maps, another that uses Mapbox + Leafy Maps (I find this one the smoothest performing for scrolling), those would show routes on a map
But probably won’t show turn by turn directions like a GPS app
i tried theirs too but im having the same issue could you please tell me what im doing wrong.
here is how i have set it up
i have a page of orders and when a user clicks to view their order it shows them order details and the maps directions(from seller to current users location).
now the problem is on first click the map only loads (like the above image) so it doesnt show anything but if you leave the page and click again the properly shows the directions. Now i obviously want it to load on the first click for better user experience, how do i get this to work?
Which plugin is it? Sounds like it’s just an issue with requesting directions before the map plugin is ready or something
its the google maps extended plugin, in a post by the plugin author he said to use a “when maps is ready action” but using that causes big issues like workload spikes
Those 2 spikes are from when i started using the “do when maps is ready action” and the worst part is it doesnt even work and when i test on android (im building for android and ios) i get err not enough resources constantly which makes the app unusable.
