Map pin using geocoded lat/long from google maps integration

Hey everyone, looking for some guidance on using the map with lat/lon from the google maps integration. What /seems/ to be happening is that I point the map to the lat/lon, but it pins ALL of them - every single row as best I can tell - vs just the one record it’s pointed to.

So I have a table with addresses, I use the google maps api to convert the address to lat/lon, I then point the map to that lat/lon. If I put those values into google maps it pins exactly where it should.

I created an extra column, made it a text column, and then copy/pasted the same lat/lon value and it works perfect. One pin. Correct location. Perfect.

If I point the map back to the “google maps generated lat/lon” column, I get every pin from the whole column.

Any idea what’s going on here? Am I missing the point or purpose of the google maps integration/map usage?

Thanks for any pointers for folks that have been through this!

Have you tried applying a filter?

I did try that, but then I struggled on what to filter.

As a test, I just copied multiple lat/lon’s over to the text only column. Lo and behold it did map the 10 or so I added.

So the map IS pinning the entire lat/lon column… How do I get it to pin just a single row and not all of them? Filter may be the answer, but what do I filter for?

EDIT: Maybe some additional context. So this is a list of clients which contains their name, address, phone number, etc. When viewing the client list you can search, filter, what have you… when you click a client, you get a bunch of their data, job history, etc, and a map with a pin. That map is generated based on the google maps integration from their address. So this is a one-to-one. Click a client, get data + a map of their location.

Your filter should be something like “RowID is Screen->RowID”

That did it! Thanks! New here… :upside_down_face:
