I have the map component set to display project address, the problem im having is the map zooms so far out that it is really not a binifit to the ui or provide mush value unless the user manually zooms in. is their a way to set the level? I have tried building a custom component several times and for one reason or anothe it will not generate a map. at every evolution the map component i get the pin but no map i have tried several alternative narratives to the AI but none generate a map.

Have you tried using coordinates instead of an address. Does it help?

If not, I think your clearest way should be embedding a Mapbox map with custom zooming level, they do have that parameter.

Glide also uses Mapbox, but doesn’t have a param that we can adjust.
