Hi everyone,  
is there a chance to show a picture from a map and use that as a selection if the user click on an certain region?

THX and happy New Year 🙂

I’m not aware of any way to make an image interactive like that. Perhaps you can design a solution using the regular map layout. This is how my map works:

Using the Glide Map layout, place a geocode pin in the middle of each region using the region name.  
 ![glidemapsample](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/0/2/02c74ed8d6ad202e0ecce4a30300c9eb4288a5f3.png)

When someone selects a map pin, that region name pops up on the bottom.

When the user clicks on the pop-up on the bottom, they go to the detail screen for that region.

Please let me know what solution you ultimately find. For myself, I really need Glide to add “map clusters” as a feature as one zooms in on the map.

Good luck.

The only way to achieve this would be a webview.

I’m sure a Google search for “clickable interactive map from Google sheet” will help.

Like this? [https://www.createaclickablemap.com/](https://www.createaclickablemap.com/)

The only downside is that

1. the map may not render well on a phone
2. the map would not (easily or natively) trigger actions in the app itself…all interaction would be done in the webview.
