Updating map pins based on search bar

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 51
Hi Everyone,
 
I am very new to power apps and I am trying to build an interactive map. I have managed to pull all my data from and excel file and display the pins on a map. The user can also search on the left hand side to find certain customers, sales reps or locations.
 
My first question: The search bar works but not as I am typing, I'd like the bottom table items to update as I am typing on the search bar. I currently have to click out of the search bar and then the table updates. I currently have the Items property set to Search(Locations; varSearch; SalespersonName; CustomerName; LocationName)
 
My second question: How would I now update the map as well to show only the items that came up in the search(only those pins display on the map). Is this possible? The map properties for latitude, longitude etc are currently just set to the equivalent headers in the excel file ex "Latitude", "Longitude" etc
 
I also just set the search input onChange to a variable of what that value is:  Set(varSearch; Self.Value)

    Hi  ,
    for the first question, we can change the trigger output of the modern text input control to delayed or key press depending on the scenario .

     
    for the second question: just use the same items (Search(Locations; varSearch; SalespersonName; CustomerName; LocationName)) in the map as well.
     
    if this doesnt work as expected , try changing the toggles for "use default location", "show current location", then it should work as expected.
