Hi,
It’s my first time here, so thanks for your help because looking into the big database of this forum was already extremely useful for me ! Thanks a lot for that even dough I don’t get an answer.

My problem is simple, I searched about it, asked Bard and Chat GPT as well, there is similar threads but can’t figure this out.

I use the nice map feature, I display “activities” (cinema, restaurants etc …) that users added.
This works perfectly, it was easy to set up even custom icons.
It’s easy because I use “activities” as marker collection (multiple markers), filter : all activities.

But my probleme and I could read many of you have the same without finding a solution is that I need to center the map on the customer when they connect to it, it’s logical right ?
The thing is that the map is centered in the very middle of “all activities” currently it’s in the middle of atlantic ocean ah ah cool !

In Markers section :
Marker adress I used the magic text to get the full adress location of all activities (if I don’t do that they can’t be displayed )
i tried to add a second thing in "device’s city (or current user’s location whatever). And wonderful the map show me a nice blue point on that specific location !
But still showing the atlantic ocean when I access the map ^^

1/ If I remove the activities adresses in the marker adress : I can center on the user, but no activities are displayed (well sorry that’s not true : they are all displayed stacked at that exact same location where the user is, which looks like only 1 activity) ^^ too bad, that was my first thought and I was happy it was simple.

2/ how come something that simple is not already in adalo : there should be a slot : center the map on ?? there you choose ^^

I tested solutions i found on the forum, added a hidden input which is displaying user’s city when the screen is displayed then try to use that input on the marker adress, but result is same : no activities and it’s centered or activities and it’s not centered :slight_smile:

Does anyone have any solution for this ?
Thanks a lot for your help.

To center the map on the user’s location while displaying multiple activity markers, create two marker collections: one for the user’s location and another for activities. Center the map on the user’s location marker and use filters to display the correct markers. Consider using third-party map integrations for more advanced customization.
