I am unable to make Geocoding work within my Appsheet app. I am confused when reading the little information I could find regarding the set up within AppSheet. I am not a programmer. I want to have a map view, showing the location of homes to which we will be providing service. I have a Homes table with a concatenated column, set to Address type, which includes the Address, City, State, Zipcode and USA. (Example: 858 Montebello Camp Rd, Imperial, MO 63052, USA) I also have a column named Location which is of the LatLong type. I cannot figure out the required steps to have Appsheets update the LatLong column upon Adding/Saving and/or Edit of the Address Column. I have downloaded the Appsheet Template Geocoding with Appsheet. In that template I entered and address, but it did not place the LatLong information into it's sheet. Does someone have a video or tutorial pdf showing how to set up this functionality. In my app, if I manually enter the LatLong informaiton, my map shows the pin placement correctly. But as I mentioned, if I enter only the address, the LatLong information does not populate the Location column.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I used the Geocoder template as a guide and also signed up for the google api. After many changes/attempts, I was able to make the Geocoder return the LatLong values for an address and add the LatLong value to my table. Which, in turn, allowed the map view to place a pin at the address location.
