Hello.  I'm trying to use the map control, but my maps look like this Image1Image1.  How can do I get maps that look like this? Image 2Image 2

    Hey @MalryTech ,

     

    I think this video from Shane young should help you out: PowerApps Google Maps API - Build your first App (youtube.com)

    Thanks @DBO_DV.  I've watched Shane's video a few times.  But that's for a static and Google map.  I need a dynamic map.  Not sure if it's still true or not, but I read dynamic Google maps are not available in Power Apps, so I was trying to use the built in Map control.  I have it working, plotting map points, and routing.  It just looks like a map from the early 2000s.

    Yes sadly we have nothing modern and beautiful right now.

     

    I just added a link that opens google maps on m phone with the map point i wanted. That's the only way i know to get around this map and also the way most apps would work.

    I’ve taken that approach as well.  It’s just in every tutorial I’ve watched, when someone inserts a map control, their map looks modern.  When you get a minute, please see if your map looks like mine when you insert a map control?  That way I know it’s not just me.  I’d really appreciate it.

    Tried that too.  I take it your Road map looked like mine?  I wanna know what Shane and April Dunham have access to that we don’t.
