Geolocation in Adalo

[@ivanlai4611]

Great video, super helpful, thank you for posting this!

[@simonlee7834]

Good video. I was able to follow your steps and get the map location and direction working fine. One question -> I have an app which consists of 200 units on a single location (same address) but different units. How can I get the app to work from one unit number to another?

[@collinlongmire8444]

If instead of using collections of pre-filled out coffee shops like in your example you wanted to pull coffee shops near you via the maps api, do you need to connect that via the external collections api also or is there a way I am missing?

[@trouty1527]

have the exact same question!

[@adalocado]

Hello! Great question. I haven't tried this yet for myself, but I have a feeling you could use a custom action to interact with the Google Places API to load data from Google instead of your Adalo collection. I would start there!

[@maliklyles5639]

Amazing Video so thankful! Is there a way to show directions? or maybe send them to google maps?

[@adalocado]

Hey Malik! Thanks for the feedback! You could definitely link them to Google Maps. You would just use an external link - with magic text for the lat/long - following the format listed here: stackoverflow.com/questions/1801732/how-do-i-link-to-google-maps-with-a-particular-longitude-and-latitude

[@s.h.2546]

Hello. In the case where the user searches for a coffee shop with the user input option, did you have to manually create a list for coffee shops in that area also? Or was that something that google provided already? Thank you

[@raynellbell2428]

Fantastic!!!! question around permission to use the device location. in my app I am going to be using this. Does the user have to grant permission every time? for example…. whenever there is a post and they opt in to tag the location… will they need to every time? asking for a friend LOL

[@adalocado]

Great question! I believe the permissions are saved and only requested once. That has been my experience.

[@HoussamBenali]

The permissions on phones are saved according to the user's choice, when the request is triggered the user will be asked to choose 1- only when using the app (every time they open it the app will automatically get the location) 2- this time only (the next time the user opens the app it'll ask them again) 3- no (this will not allow the app to access the device location and there's where we need the fallback location, next time the user will use the app it will ask for permission again) That's according to my experience

[@adalocado]

Thanks for the clarification Houssam!

[@carltonblack2008]

I have a few questions... 1.How much would that simple usage would have cost you? 2. I am working on something that will collect a full address from all users, but I only want it to show partial locations (City, State, and Zip Code) along with distance from (current location, saved location, etc.) based on what they want at the time. This use case is a lead service where user can see everything about the lead except the street address until they purchase it. I am a good bit off for now so I haven't purchased a plan that allows the maps feature. How would this look when setting up the database? For now I have it set up where I have an input for "Street Address", "City", "State", and "Zip Code. The idea is that I'll just remove "Street Address" until the lead has been purchased...

thanks adalocado ! amazing video !! I 'm trying to create part of an running app and I would like to record a user session. As a user I start a session, then I have the recording of my session (duration, lenght, average & max speed, elevation). I struggling to put it together :s di you know if it is possible ? thank you :)

[@mcfall7981]

Is there a way to get the location of a moving object such as another person or food truck?

[@Qwasieee_P]

If you can, can you do a video on database and relationships? It's really hard to understand without any experience whatsoever in making an app.

[@adalocado]

Hello! Thank you for this suggestion. Agreed that the database can be really difficult at first. This will be a key point in our Adalo Masterclass: www.adalocado.com/masterclass

I want to create a Map with Markers in it, but I want to limit the Markers displayed to a specific radius (10 miles) within the Current Device Location. Can I do this in Adalo? I know I can do it in a List, but what about in a Map?

[@digitalhypeman5361]

is there a way that you can see all of the options in pin mode on the map, oppose to list mode? And thank you, videos are awesome and helpful.

[@adalocado]

Hello! Great question. I believe this is possible to do! Feel free to join our Discord community to share your questions and we'll see how we can help: www.adalocado.com/community

[@andrewmanchenko2203]

how to get directions to the selected coffee shop?

[@WoodYouLikeSomeMilk]

How can the user set the search radius from the app? Like magic text?

[@ckay8191]

Is there a way to send reminders one there at specific locations? For instance, send restaurant notifications or coupons when the customers in that area?

[@adalocado]

Hello! Great question. Not that I know of, but you could make it so that if the user opens the app, they see a list of all the restaurant deals in their area.

Is it possible to get directions on the map

[@adalocado]

Hey Prince! You could definitely link them to Google Maps. You would just use an external link - with magic text for the lat/long - following the format listed here: stackoverflow.com/questions/1801732/how-do-i-link-to-google-maps-with-a-particular-longitude-and-latitude
