Hey guys, playing around with maps for the first time. My question is, is there any option where you can set a location on the map and users can somehow submit something to prove they visited the location? Or being at a location could trigger visibility of a component? Just brainstorming on how I could use this feature for either a scavenger hunt type activity. I could leave physical things at that location or somehow verify the user was there. I could require a photo submission but thought you guys might have ideas for something less manual. Ideas??? 💡 😃 ---

There is the option to request the user’s location with the location entry component, but I suppose you could also use the distance column. If a user is within a certain distance, you could make a form button display or you could record the distance column value in the form. Then you can determine by the distance if they were at that location. ---

I like that! That’s the kind of thing I’m looking for- the location is super specific so I couldn’t use a match function to determine whether or not they are there. Good idea. Interested to see if others have tried tackling this. ---

It’s a full list of 197 countries, their flags, country code & co-ordinates. That’s all 193 UN member states, plus Palestine, Taiwan, Kosovo and the Vatican. The data is from Google. Pretty handy data in case you ever need to plot every country on a map or show every country in a choice component. In the app, you can check off countries you’ve visited and view the… Not sure if this might be of any assistance. ---
