I’m attempting to use addresses for the country of Belize and it seems the map component doesn’t support these? The pins are dropped in what seems like the main city versus the actual address. See pics below? Any suggestions of an alternative approach or is there a setting I need to update?

Mapbox is very particular about geocoding addresses into coordinates for map pins. Results can vary. Your best bet is to directly obtain and use geo-coordinates for each location instead of addresses.

The use case would be that an agent is entering the address of a new client upon client creation. Can I use the google maps integration to convert address to coordinates? Also, I didn’t see that the map component can use coordinates as input field?

I think you can possibly use either the Google Maps or Radar integration. I’ve heard of people using Radar more often.

You would just point the address field to the column that contains the coordinates.
