Map searching

Hello, 

I got the following case. I want to find a pin by name ("pin-name-1") on the map.  

Now I use a filter to find one(all other values of course are gone) and then cancel it to make other ones appear. 

The main issue that I have to keep showing all pins and highlight the searching one. Like this

Is there any more elegant way to solve it?

Finally made it. The target was to show on maps pins from two tables. And make them searchable to find the closest pins to each other (yellow and green to red)

Filter and searching weren't a way out. So I made a gallery and map for each table (the secondary table for the map was another table). For a gallery selected Behavior - > View Map

Finally, I  create a dashboard with both galleries.

And after searching and taping the map with the primary data table is opened.

Hi @MAPTAB 

 

Did you try an interactive dashboard ? Provided yoou don't have too many pins, it can be a very useful trick.

For doing so:

- UX/New View/View Type: Dashboard

- embed your map view, and a table view (or deck view...)

- tick the "interactive mode" option

Let us know if that works for you ๐Ÿ™‚

 

@Aurelien Thank you for the reply. It's doesn't completely solve my problem but UX looks a bit better. Cool trick. But I want just to highlight the searching pin without erasing others. In total, I've >30k pins.
