I’m trying to use the map component, I have the latitude and longitude (for example: 39.300820,-7.431052), but the map is pointing to places in the USA instead of Portugal. Can you help me?  
In the PC the locations work, in the mobile i’m pointed to USA,

Are you sure that the map is configured to use the column that contains the coordinates? Can u share some screenshots of some of the data and the map configuration?

So this is the same map, but displayed differently with different types of device? Can you give us a link to test?

I tried 2 Portuguese coordinates here and they’re working correctly for me. How are you entering coordinates? In pure text form?

I suspect it has something to do with commas. Can you try converting them to numbers and try again?

For example, Longitude is 39.300820 if i change to number the number is shorter:

Got it. Can you try this instead?

- Have a template column that points to the Latitude column, and replace “,” by “.”
- Do the same for Longitude.
- The Coordinates template should use the adjusted template columns.
