Map labels

Is there a way to show a label on the map pins when an app user make an entry and the GPS location is enabled?

So for example if user A selects " White XYZ" and the GPS is captured, then the pin on Google maps will have the label, “White XYZ”

I’m afraid it’s not possible at this moment.

Hi! Is this still not a possibility? Thanks!

Unfortunately not.

I’m also waiting for this feature…

Esse recurso já está disponível @Fabian_Weller  ? 

@Carlosramallho sorry I don't understand anymore what the feature is about 😂
Can you explain what you need? Maybe with a screenshot?

In fact if you hover over a map pin it will show the the column that you've selected as the label.

This is true, but it is not possible to hover on mobile, forcing you to click on the pin to see what you're looking at it. If you look at a sea of indistinguishable pins on a map, you will see the need for this feature. It is closely related to another feature, the ability to edit the click-through action on map pins. Both are key to the basic usability of map views IMO.

Hi i found this old appsheet video, and here are numbers on pin.

It's possible to do?

Hi @Lokki7 Yes this was the case years ago. If I remember right, AppSheet back then used Microsoft Bing, not Google Maps.
