Hi Glide Support team,

I’m building an app with the Map component.  
In my current (Free/Maker) plan, the option “Show user’s location” does not appear.

Could you please confirm which plan includes the ability to display the user’s real-time location (the blue dot) on the map?  
Is it available in the Team plan, or only in the Business plan?

Thanks in advance!

That feature is not available with any plan.

Thanks for the clarification.

Since “Show user’s location” isn’t available on any plan, are there recommended workarounds to display a user’s current location on a map?

- Would combining the Location component (to capture the device’s current lat/lng) with the Map component (to plot that record) be a supported approach for near-real-time display (e.g., on button press + refresh)?
- Is it supported to embed a third-party map (e.g., Mapbox/MapLibre/Google Maps) via Web Embed/HTML and use the browser Geolocation API to show a live “blue dot” within a Glide screen?
- Any best practices or limitations we should be aware of (privacy/consent, refresh intervals, rate limits, background updates)?

We’re mapping ~10k points from our data source, and field users need to see where they are relative to nearby pins. Any guidance or docs would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
