when i try it out it doesnt seem to work. and i cant tell if its trying anything at all.
So I created a formula to generate a URL using address info in my project and i can click on the generated URL to get the latitude and longitude data from nominatim.org is there a way to make this a button press like the grist sample supposedly does or a formula/api to accomplish the same? so i dont have to manually enter that data.
It looks like you may have stumbled across an issue the same time as SevereOverfl0w, who submitted a fix that was just merged. This change should be live now, so please try again using Geocode to see if it works.
and then I navigate to the Geocoding menu/page, enter a city and state (Los Angeles, California) and click on the toggle. Nothing happens. And i dont see any code behind it either. Also the map widget is not configured correctly either. i just want to know the code behind whatever retrieves the latitude and longitude from a city/state etc…
The map widget has to be configured in order for the geocoding to work. Since it wasn’t configured, it wasn’t geocoding the address you added. Now, when you navigate to the Geocoding page, you’ll notice the map is configured. You can add a City and State and click the toggle and the Lat/Long coordinates will be returned as initially expected.
