You can add a standard default marker to your map with the blocks below. The Map component does not yet supply its own latitude and longitude so we currently recommend using the Location Sensor component
Sometimes it's helpful to clear all the markers from the map e.g. when you are trying to update your location in real-time which requires adding a marker and deleting existing markers.
To add a polyline, you can use the blocks below where coordinates need to be in a list of latitude and longitude objects, stroke Width is an integer and stroke Color is in hex format
To add a polygon, you can use the blocks below where coordinates need to be in a list of latitude and longitude objects, stroke Width is an integer, stroke Color is in hex format, and fill Color is in hex format
