How to change what shows in map view

I am using an image as a map. It works fine - places pins where needed. I do want to change what information shows at the bottom - i cannot figure out where to do this:

I dont want the Lat and Long to show. Showing Lat and long in this scenario is not useful. I want the ID and the status to show here.

Please check first system generated Ref views from that table. If it’s not there, create your own Ref view.

You cannot avoid this. AppSheet is automatically showing the LatLong in the first row of the Deck view.
One workaround:
Set a FormatRule for the LatLong Column and set the Color to transparent with #FFF0 and the text size to 0.2

Please consider also this:

I saw that the Map View sometimes opens a Detail View and sometimes a Deck View, when you click on a Pin. So I tested a little bit. It depends on the Sice of the Browser Window. But if you like that the Map always opens a Deck view when clicking on a Pin: Your Dashboard should have at least 3 views in it The Map view has to be “Tall” The other 2 views can be Tall or Large or Small

Sorry for the late response - thank you

Another work around:

  • Create a slice to use for your map
  • Create a deck view of that slice
    • This deck view will be shown under the map when someone taps a pin.
    • By customizing this deck view, you can change what’s shown

Hi @MultiTech_Visions are you able to hide also the XY with your workaround?
I mean this line:

Ah… negative. That is not actually a part of that deck view.

Your workaround is a good one; I would only add that if you need to see the latlong somewhere else, maybe add a

context(“ViewType”) <> “Map”

condition on your formatting rule.

Nice catch @Fabian
