How to Pass a List of Lat/Longs as Waypoints to the Google Maps Extender Plugin

Plugins
#1

The Google Maps Extender plugin indicates it accepts lat/longs or geographic addresses as waypoints.

However, when I try to pass a list of lat/longs to the Google Maps Extender plugin as waypoints, it does not calculate.

Can you tell me how to pass a list of lat/longs to the waypoints field in the Google Maps Extender plugin?

I don’t want to pass geographic addresses to the waypoints field because I’m using specific lat/longs for specific photo locations.

My app is: https://route-manager.bubbleapps.io/playground and I’ve already listed you as a collaborator.

Hi @harrisonalley, I’m afraid it is not possible to insert Lat and Long for the Waypoints field. Apologies for misleading, but it can take only addresses as value. We are going to fix it asap. Thank you :pray:

If you also made it so that it could accept one or many lat/longs as markers I would not need to use the MapBox plugin for my app and it would make my life so much easier!

Hi @harrisonalley, we’ve taken into consideration your feedback about some features that currently are not available and we might add them in future updates. Thanks!

@harrisonalley I’m just reaching out to notify on plugin update on documentation fix. Please upgrade to the latest version, refresh your app and give it a try. Thanks!

Thanks @alexandru. I have updated the plugin and tried providing a list of lat,long from my database and long,lat and neither seems to work here: https://route-manager.bubbleapps.io/playground

Can you add to your demo showing how to add a list of lat/longs to the waypoints?

Also, if you added the ability to add a list of lat,longs as markers, I think I would have a lot fewer questions/issues building my app and I think it would be really useful for anyone in the future - being able to add either lat/longs or geographic addresses.

Hi @harrisonalley, our apologies for misleading, we have updated the documentation of this plugin so it will not confuse our customers that it is possible to add coordinates to the Waypoints field. Unfortunately, it is possible to add only addresses. Thank you for understanding :pray:

#8

Oh I see. Do you have a plugin that can reverse geocode?

#9

Hi @harrisonalley, regarding Bulk Google GeoCoding plugin, the reverse functionality is not available yet, unfortunately. However, will look into possibility for upcoming future plugin updates. Thanks!

#10

Yes, I notice you advertise that reverse geocoding is coming soon. Do you have an estimated timeline? Do you think it will be in the next month or more like in the next 6 months or longer?

#11

Hi @harrisonalley, unfortunately we cannot guarantee any estimates regarding next updates. However, I could possibly notify you back once any updates have been made. Thank you in advance for understanding :pray:

@harrisonalley U can convert coordinates to address by using calculatefrom coordinates to address and use as waypoints.
Jus a suggestion check if it’ll work for u.
