Hi Bubble pro’s - Can I have a map like Google My Maps in my app so users can plan a trip and save it, and/or see their location history? I have a google map in my app so far with location markers but can not work out any of these more specialised features can work Thanks in anticipation

Can you share to code for the HTML. i give it a try

Thanks so much again @AliFarahat. I have implemented this with my own APi key and all is working well. I have a few questions now. The first one I worked out for my self - how to change the distance from miles to kilometres. That part was easy and I found the units key in the API connector and changed it to metric. 1)Following on from this my next question is - how do I make this dynamic depending on a users settings. I have a setting that allows the user to choose whether they see their data in metric or imperial. Can I somehow use this setting to change the google map output depending on where the user lives (an therefore sets their setting). I must add though this setting is not very technical as it does not convert data at this time it simply shows a field with miles or kilometres as the unit. I do hope to build a conversion for other aspects of my app in the future but this will work for now. 2)Can I add more destinations just like Google does in their Maps so I can plan to go from point A to point B then C then D etc etc? How can I then save this data - Again i have worked this one out for myself - just like you save any other data in Bubble - gotta love Bubble for being so “plain English” :slight_smile:

To make the imperial/metric dynamic I suggest to add a text field on the user table called units. Then create a drop down on the user profile page that has the 2 static values. In the API connector set the units to client safe. So you can pass on the parameter dynamically. As for multiple stops i did that once. You need to store the stops in as a list and call on them. Give me some time I will dig around to find that code and maybe I can prepare an example for you.

Actually, my partner was saying he wanted to give map box a try instead. I think that is what it is called. It seems that has a much more flexible functionality. Thank you for being so willing to help!

Thanks again @AliFarahat. I look forward to your code for multiple stops when you get a chance to dig it out. In the mean time I have added a text field to the user table and have a dropdown for the two values (metric and imperial) and save that data to the user. In the API connector I have set the units to client safe but what do I put in the Values section [image] I have tried several options but can not get it to change when I change the users value in the database

You have to set a value in the API connector

Thanks @AliFarahat but that is the trouble I do not know what value to set. If I manually input imperial or metric I get the correct data showing. What value do I set to make it dynamic. The field in the User data type and that is saved in the user data base is called “units”. If I set the value to units I do not get the correct response. What do I set the value at?

I changed the example to reflect the unit selector. I think it is case sensitive so in this case i show it as Metric but i dynamically change it to metric [image]

Thanks @AliFarahat that works. If I then wanted to take it a step further and have the dropdown automatically change to the Current Users units I thought this might work but I don’t know where to go next [image] or have I gone about this wrong??

Create a field on the user level called units as a text On the user profile page have the drop down with static values that saves the user pref as text in the units field On the API connect select current user units as the dynamic value
