For whatever reason, I’m not sure where the problem is: In configuration area I’d expect the “From” to be a “current location” option – but that is only available under “To” therefore no distance is computed… please advice - thanks!! ![Screen Shot 2020-09-11 at 07.51.00](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/2/2a4b107a0a12d461441d65609e19fd93a0bfbdfc.png) ![Screen Shot 2020-09-11 at 07.50.49](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/1/11bf5128732006200db1be8bd1ba15e476fe0f76.png) ![Screen Shot 2020-09-11 at 07.50.32](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/5/5f91aed9d8cd004e4ca7bd8ffea23a3a4fe1681b.png) ---

What is the difference here if you have the current location in “From”? Wouldn’t it be the same? ---

The screenshots i’ve included are not in line with what is in glideapps documentation - the point here is that i do not see the distance calculation - the results are empty cells - unless there is more to it - if so, I cant find the instructions - can someone pls point out - thank you ---

What are the values in your address column? Also have you allowed Glide to access your location on your desktop? You will get a pop-up asking you to do that. ---

Hmm - couple things that i see: the addresses are just regular string of street city zip state; yes, allowed initially on desktop when testing - However, on a separate topic interestingly, when using map/list view and allowing to view my current location, the location button does not always work … tapping/clicking and tapping/clicking on desktop and iphone and the blue dot is not showing up - and then somehow it does - and then doesnt … you can see the prototype app here: [app.lanesboro.com](http://app.lanesboro.com) ---
