The Map component

The Map component lets you display a customised, interactive map.

To add the Map component to your project:

1. Open the Components panel, then the Maps folder.
2. Drag the Map component to the stage.
3. In the Map properties section of the Properties panel, enter your Google Maps Platform API key in the Google API key field.
4. Enter the Latitude and Longitude properties to set the default centre point of the map. (Learn how to find the coordinates of a place on Google Maps.) You can also tick the Request user location box to prompt the user for their location and show it on the map.
5. If you want to display markers on the map for specific places, enter a Search term.
