Geocoding

Ask for Help
1

Hello,

I see the following in the documentation under “Troubleshooting Misplaced Pins.”

“When your sheet contains addresses, your app must lookup the coordinate before placing the pin on the map in a process called geocoding. This slows your app slightly and also can be expensive. If you use coordinates, however, the pin will be placed accurately, immediately, and without cost.”

Is this something that Glide charges for?

Thank you,

Not directly, but I believe there are costs to Glide to provide the service. As the pricing indicates, free apps will geocode 10 addresses for map pins. Pro apps will geocode 1000 pins per map. So the costs to provide it in limited amounts on free apps is basically absorbed by those that pay for an app subscription.
