Hello,
We love Appsheet but in the last couple of weeks a lot of surprises have happened.
We are working to develop an "AppSheet app for the people on the farm" to improve the relation with the technology and the new tools from google... We know that they are not super intense in technology so our plan is to give more use to the cellphone than social networks...
The app was built with data processes and clean using only Google tools My Maps, CSV, Big Query, and workaround to finally end adding to Google sheet. We want to make a simple and massive opportunity to understand and interact better with the land and all the data related... so we worked for one week interviewing the "jefes" the person in contact with the land, we Geolocated the zones, areas, Soil, irrigation, and more details... at the end of the week we complete the big achievement to connect an unpopular "name or number of a place" with an image in the cell phone. even they get sorpice.
The next step was to add the information so they can add, request, read, (in Big standard bottom... exactly what they like) and check the info inside his phone (not any more paper and pen, notebook or transcript info to a more more and more complex system)...
BUT....--> after my last post (added) something get absolutely unexpected... no more map or points... We try with our Google Cloud Map, My map, version recovery... we don't lose hope, but get a little frustrated ... the last message we get is Ask the JavaScript console to get the technical details of the error... "JavaScript console" we are using a no code app... ?
We are looking for a little bit of a constant star bright in the darkness... to help us to help others...
if you experience something similar to the images, let us know please.
Thanks,

Thanks... yes
sweet can you let me know the email you used to submit the support ticket?
hi, @amyplin
I don't know if I fix the problem or I found one,
(Today) In the integration I add "app Services" Google Map, I add the name and Access Key and save, I do similar in the app.
Today (+/-) 3 hours later and after try almost everything (Google cloud console, documentation, monitor, ... and report a new problem (create a new one) (with all the detail) I delete the the "Google maps integration" and all my maps return to normal... not full normal (except for the polygons) but now I can see the Centroid (LatLong).
Why I add Google Map integration from Google Cloud: Basically because after use MyMap to show the polygons (that work for a couple of days, pictures attach) the app stop showing the polygons... my frustration with all the possible workarounds goes until the point to abandon the idea... but I never lost hope, so I believe in Google cloud Map, I create, use and add to AppSheet... and all the frustration came back...
But why don't you develop a WebApp, pwa?: Basically because I believe in Google philosophy and products... and of course in the Appsheet... not because of the style, or the Big bottoms, or "easy" configuration process... It's because I need to show the people in the farm the importance of Google Sheets and how they evolve simple and fast with Appsheet... It's more evangeligence than other stuff...
Why are the people on the farm?: For generations they work the land and they live happily far away from almost all the city problems... but nobody stops for one second to teach technology and how to use it.... So now the most advanced technology they have is Microwave, fridge, TV, Music "very loud" and a cellPhone... sometimes the internet... The kids know how to used all... but if they have more than 40 with luck the remote control and cellphone... but social media (I don't want to mention which ones) transforms the cellphone into a useless device of almost zero productivity... so i think, if they are not anymore scared of the cell phone... why not show what can they do with this... upgrade them to the technologic trends and make them part of the cultural evolution and transformation...
I don't want to be tired or sleep with my concept but the south America farm is not close to what you can imagine... they deserve to be part.
So, if you can help me to find a way to show the polygons in Appsheet with or without Google cloud I will really send you pictures of his faces..
Thanks a lot to all...

Sorry my English ...
Can you give me your email and your app name so I can find the ticket and take a look at your app?
Hi Cossa, did you find a solution?
