Hello,

I’m currently building an app and I’d like to add an **autocomplete feature for places**.

Here’s what I want to achieve:

- If a user types something like _“central pa”_, the component should suggest _“Central Park”_ and let them select it.
- If they type _“McDonalds San Francisco”_, it should list all the McDonalds in that city so the user can choose one.

My question is:  
👉 What’s the best way to implement this in Glide, considering I’m on the **$25/month plan (no Maker or Business account)**?

Any ideas, best practices, or examples would be super helpful!

Thanks a lot 🙏

what are you expecting for output. If I select mcdonalds san francisco, what are you expecting to be stored when I select one of them? Coordinate? Adderess? Just the name?
