Hey Everyone!

First and foremost I want to thank everyone who helped me with my previous issues this community is freaking awesome makes me want to use Adalo even more!

My question for you all is that I’m using a Google maps component in my app that allows users to post in a specific location. I have the Google API set up and everything. When a user lands on this Google Map page is there a way to make it so it shows a default location? Right now the default Location is in the middle of the Atlantic ocean lol

Also I’m researching but is there a way to track a users location with this Google Maps if yes that would solve my problem because we can just show the users location instead.

Let me know if you can help! I apologize I’m asking dumb questions, I’m new to adalo and still learning but loving every second of it!
