Working on learning maps...

We have a map control 'Map1'. I'm just working on getting the clicked location. Doesn't appear to work. Tried a few things, searched a ton for what I might be missing. Coming up blank.

I have this code in the OnSelect of Map1; added the notification trying to check if anything looks to be happening.

ClearCollect(
 colLocation,
 {
 LocLat:Map1.ClickedLocation.Latitude,
 LocLong: Map1.ClickedLocation.Longitude
 }
);

Notify("Clicked: " & First(colLocation).LocLat,NotificationType.Success,2000)

Then I have a label trying to display the lat long, this is in the Text property

"Latitude: " & First(colLocation).LocLat & " Longitude: " & First(colLocation).LocLong

Thank you

Well, I had tried this before and it did not work, now it does...

In the 'Text' property:

Map1.ClickedLocation.Latitude & "," & Map1.ClickedLocation.Longitude

So if anyone can inform me why the aforementioned attempts fail, that would be great.

It seems like sometimes reloading the page a few times is all I need.

What I have typed there...
In the 'Text' property:

Map1.ClickedLocation.Latitude & "," & Map1.ClickedLocation.Longitude

It works fine. It wasn't at first, and then started working. I honestly think there are some issues with updates... like the app and what is on the server vs what you're dealing with can vary and so the code sometimes falls over. Just my opinion. Anyway, that works.

LMK if you need help
