I doubted this because of the navigation, but I ended up trying it and I must say its amazing and works properly. Thank you.

this so easy to Implement @Audrie. If user wants to use current Geo-location, such as GPS for a store and not using hard coded addresses, can we still use it? For instance, we have customers who have Safety Inspection and Engineer goes to the Power plant. When he uses this app, that is able to detect his current location (GPS Location) and engineer fill the form and submit to SharePoint. Can we achieve this with PowerApps??

Audrie, thank you for your video. I followed your instructions to add map to my app, but the map doesn't show. There are no errors for my formula. Do you have any hints what the cause of that? The only difference is that my address has street address, city, state and zip code all together from one text input box.

Thanks for your insights in PowerApp. Its great very usefull.

Hi Audrie, Thanks so much for your videos. Anyway, I've followed your instructions here and even tested out the link the code created by pasting it into the URL in my browser (it worked- so my API and syntax is fine). However, my map is not showing in PowerApps. Would there be a setting in the back-end of my Office365 Tenant that would stop this? What would I need to tell my admins?

Very nice and straight example/demo, Audrie

I am constantly amazed at what can be done with Power Apps. Thank you!

Can I use the geocodoing api to reverse the GPS location to address??

[chubbydawme]

Is it possible to calculate the distance between two zip codes?
