Map based on row rather than column

[dan_R]

I would love to be able to use this for one of the main reasons I got it. I thought I would be able to use a map pin to show things per row, rather that all of the pins showing up that have data in the date/time location fields. It would be a huge help

Maybe we need a bit more explanation? AppSheet is a row based processing system.

Map pins are placed one per row. But they need to have a representative piece of information to determine where on the map to be placed such as an address or coordinate column. When you tap on a pin, a detail row will appear in the view to give you details about that row.

Beyond that, can you explain a little more about your need?

@WillowMobileSystems. Thanks for the response.
Here is the original post I made on this. I don’t know if the system is going to allow this or not because its so close to my original post. If not, I’ll like to it

So these are the screen shots. As you can see, I have a field called location. This one is selected but there is also one that happens when a picture is taken, to time/date and location stamp the image. This same issue happens no matter how the location is captured, manually or auto.

From the main screen, I select one of the loads from the list
That takes me to the load details page. From there, I click on the map or I can click on an icon, and it brings up a more detailed map. The second map shows all of the locations that are in the “location” cell of my spreadsheet. It’s as the system is reading the data from the columns rather than the row. I’ve been told that it is set that way by default, which I understand, for generating a view of static locations. However, I will be using it to document where trailers are parked, as well as documenting where a photo is taken of a damaged truck or trailer, so I can show it was already like that and where I was when I found it. To have it display all of the pins on the map wont work because I deliver several trailers to the same locations on a daily basis. It would get congested quickly. Also, it would be hard to tell the receiver where I parked a lost trailer, if I can’t find it on the map.

Did you see my response to this issue here?

Problem with lat/long update showing all locations in the column Questions

You can find what view you are in underneath the emulator: [image] The blue map icon is a system-generated action based on an Address or Location column. You can find it here (making sure that you’ve selected “show system actions” at the bottom) [image] One possibility here is for you to change the “Target” field of the view map action to a LINKTOFILTEREDVIEW() expression in order to show the map with only the current record’s data.

Oh, cool. I’ll try to play around with it a little more. I’m getting somewhat frustrated with this process, to be honest. It’s much easier than I thought, in some regard. More troublesome in others. I just realized the GPS feature isn’t working because the app hasn’t requested permission. So now I’m trying to track down that Gremlim. Seems all the cool features I wanted, are hard to achieve.
I appreciate your help!
