Google Maps Extended Center Location

Need help Plugins
1

I’m a newbie to bubble and am trying to get the Google Maps Extended plugin set up for a local neighborhood restaurant search tool.

I feel like this is such a basic question, but what do I select for “Center Location” to get the map to load where I want it?

I’ve tried directly typing in the lat and long coordinates, I’ve tried using the arbitrary text option and putting the coordinates there, but nothing seems to work and the map isn’t visible.

Help!

I’m here looking for the same thing. I have seen posts where people have a country as a centre point. I was able to copy and paste from a template and it works, but that was Brazil and I need the UK and whenever I type it disappears, also tried the arbitrary work around to no avail. Any help greatly appreciated

It only accepts a Geographic Address type field. That means:

  • If you’re storing addresses in your database, make sure the field type is Geographic address, not plain text.

  • If you’re pulling the value from an input, use a SearchBox set to “Geographic places” or a workflow action that saves the result as a geographic address.

Once you feed the map a proper geographic type, it will center correctly.
