Hi all,
I’m attempting to build a feature where a user can click or search for an address on a map. The selected address should then appear in a small text block and transfer to a form for additional user input. Does anyone know if Glide offers the ability to search and read addresses from an embedded map? Alternatively, if I use HTML for my map, is there a way to read my HTML window and transfer the address to the form?
Thanks, Ilya
@tylerisanoob built something like that a while ago.
It works, but might expose your Glide and MapBox token to users.
Also, beware of the updates count.
Thanks a lot! so, i need to host this html somewhere and it sends coordinate/address from Mapbox to by Glide table? Great, this is exactly what I was looking for!
Seems like he only has this instruction available.
Based on what I understand, you can create a “Construct URL” column and re-create the URL in question, with correct values for the keys.
Then embed the resulting URL in the web embed component.
If you don’t want to use his URL, I think you can duplicate the repo in Github and play around with it to get your own URL.
