Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hello everyone,

I'm struggling to find a way to get these three elements : city, address, postal code, country by longitude and latitude using the Azure Maps (if there is any function that satisfies this) 'cause Bings maps are a paid tool I don't wish to integrate here.. How can I do that please ?

PS: I tried a tip with the bing maps like this : BingMaps.GetLocationByPoint(longitude, latitude).address.countryRegion and I hope there is a similar function that does the same using Azure Map 😕

Any ideas please ?

Thanks in advance !

Hi @Anonymous,

Based on the issue that you mentioned, do you want to get geographic positions using Azure Maps?

Actually, it is a preview feature with a premium license which means that you should pay more for it.

I have a test on my side, please take a try as below.

Add 2 Text input control to display longitude and latitude

Add a Toggle to control whether to display the current GPS position or not

Add a Button to launch the position with "latitude and longitude" to the map.

Set the following formulas to the OnCheck and UnCheck property of the Toggle:

Set(CurrentLocation,{Lat:Location.Latitude,Lon:Location.Longitude}) // OnCheck
Set(CurrentLocation,{}) // OnUncheck

Set the Default property of the Text Input as below:

CurrentLocation.Lat CurrentLocation.Lon

Set the OnSelect of the Button as below:

ClearCollect (Positions, {Lat: Value (TextInput1.Text), Lon: Value (TextInput2.Text), Name: "CurrentPosition"})

After that, we could get a collection of our own current GPS position, just set this collection as the Data Source of the Map, and set the following properties:

Positions.Lat //ItemsLatitudes Positions.Lon //ItemsLongitudes

As to the address, I want to clarify to you that Address input component is a Text input where you enter address to find other geographic elements rather than get address.

For more details, please check the following article and blog:

Hope it could help you.

Hello @v-qiaqi-msft ,
Yes that's what I'm looking for, a function to get address by lon,lat location 'cause I already have the Latitude and Longitude values. I exactly need to get the address associated with the point located with those two so I can then return the country name, street, city etc. Is that possible with azure maps ?
Thanks in advance !

Hi @Anonymous,

Could you please check mu solution again?

I have explained that Address input component is a Text input where you enter address to find other geographic elements rather than get address.

You could not get the address by located Latitude and Longitude values which is not possible with Azure Maps.

Qi
