Can someone translate the Mapbox plugin to the simplest use?

Hi guys. We bought the Mapbox plugin and although I am very impressed with all the features of the plugin, I am very confused about the simplest use possible, which is to replace Google Maps with a simple map with a single marker.

I did see the action to add a marker, but it seems it just wants to show routes and all of sorts of complex features which we will not going to use it.

Hello @vitorc195 ,
Thank you for reaching out for your purchase. :slightly_smiling_face:

The live page of the Mapbox plugin is designed to showcase all the features that Mapbox offers. This includes various functionalities such as adding markers, creating routes, and other advanced mapping features.

However, the greatest advantage of using Mapbox is its high level of customizability. You have the flexibility to create different workflows tailored to your specific needs. For example, if your primary requirement is to allow users to add simple markers without route building, you can easily set up a workflow to achieve this. Find this Test page for reference, were i set up a simple workflow that ads only one marker.

Let me know if this was helpful to you, or if there are any other questions i could assist you with.
Have a nice day! :sunny:

Thank you so much, @Vasile . I’ve got something similar but I was trying to use only the geographic address we have and it seems we will need that lat and long in all scenarios, right? We have 1.4M records, its going to be expensive ‘-’

Hello @vitorc195,
You are welcome! :slightly_smiling_face:

No, you don’t have to always use Lat and Long, you can easily adapt the action to search based of Geo address.

Find this Test page where i’ve set an example of using only the Geo Adress for setting markers.

You would first have to make sure that the input your users would enter the address has the Content format filed set as Adress, this is very important.

Afterward, you would go to your WF, Add marker Action and remove the lat and long values (if you had them), and then set only the Geographic Address field to take the value from the input.

Lastly, you would need to set Fly to action correctly, and set the Lat, Long field as shown below, this way the plugin will extract these values directly from the address without the need of adding them separately.

I hope you have found this information helpful, let me know if you have any other questions.
Have a nice day! :sunny:
