Hi, I’m looking for solution of my problem.

I want to add a form in my app where user will be able to search any location in Poland in dropdown input, but I have no idea how to do it. I tried to use some APIs but without any positive result. Do you have any suggestions how to solve it?

Hello,

You can test these solutions to find the one that best suits you:

1/ Use a database (if you have one or can find it easily on the Internet) and then a search element to find the right entry in your database. This is the cheapest solution as you don’t pay for any API calls or plugins. This is suitable if you have a limited number of data points.

2/ If you have unlimited possibilities - Use plugins like Google Maps Extended. You’ll find doc. about it everywhere. You’ll have some initial credits with your Google account, but if you have significant traffic on your website, it could become expensive to maintain. You also have other solutions, such as OpenStreetMap, and you can find documentation for it.

3/ Use the native Bubble search location feature, for instance, the Searchbox with the datatype: Geographical Address. It’ll also need a Google Maps API Key I think.
