it seems like a very tough task, I am trying to get the location from the user by allowing the user to pinpoint on the map and store the location as a google map url  
I thought the google map integration subscription could solve this issue but unfortunately I couldnt figure it out \> it still displays map box as a component cant it be google maps instead?

Just copy the code I gave in the thread to the template column, then you replace “COORDINATE” with the coordinate column data you obtained. Thus you can display it with the web-embed component on the url of the template column.

Next, in the screen layout section, use the embed web component to display the embed URL of the template column.
