Hi,

Could you please let me know how is it possible to use a geocoding in PowerApps.

How to receive the output (e.g. latitude and longitude) from the postcode input?

Regards

Polina

PowerApps offers no such feature. Hwoever if you can find a web service that does this, you could import/create a swagger file and use the service from within PowerApps.

Hi @Anonymous,

As mentioned by Andy Pennell, there is no such feature offered by PowerApps.

Currently it is only available to get the latitude and longitude use the Location() function, and this function is based on the GPS signal.

If you would like to convert the value, you may need to get help with some Public API, then build a custom connector and use it under PowerApps (which is Andy suggested).

Register and use custom connectors in PowerApps

Use Maps Static API , get your API Key for ur Google cloud environment, and then Enabled in your https://console.cloud.google.com here is the documentation
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/maps-static?hl=es_419
and then use something like this inside in an image in the image property: "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center="&txt_Latitud.Text& "," & txt_Longitud.Text & "&zoom=12 &size=600x300 &maptype=roadmap &key=" &var_apiKey& "&markers=color:red" &EncodeUrl("|") & "label:S" &EncodeUrl("|") &txt_Latitud.Text&","&txt_Longitud.Text

as you see you need pass the longitud and latitud that u can get in text input or using Location.Latitude
Location.Longitude
