In layout, under component you can insert google map. How do you locate the place in the map. I am clueless on how to insert these location in data table and how to relate the location with the place i refer to? Is it not available in free option?
Thank you

It’s not Google map per se (unless you’re using the maker plan)
but once you get the map component, have an address column in your data column then point it to the address field

Thank you Micheal,
It works. I have two concerns:
1.It shows a map icon in entire google map. It doesn’t automatically zoom in the place. 2.While i zoom in, it shows a place bit at distance. Is there any way i can show almost exact location. Is there any way to insert the location i mapped at site?
Thank you.

The map used in Glide is Mapbox not Google map.

This is a known problem and there is no solution yet.
