Reverse geocode
Answers “what’s at this location?”: end-users pick a point with a crosshair click (a live coordinate readout follows the cursor so they can aim), or type coordinates, and get the resolved address, marked with a pin on the map. Every lookup lands in a Recent session list; entries can be starred into the Saved list when you allow it.
Lookups you star while you build are saved with the map; end-user lookups in the published map stay local to their session.
Parameters
Section titled “Parameters”| Parameter | What it does |
|---|---|
| Provider | The geocoding service used: Nominatim (OpenStreetMap, no key) or Mapbox using your account’s public token (Dashboard → Integrations). The key never enters the map document. |
| Coordinate formats | Which formats end-users can type: decimal degrees (50.85046, 4.35171) and/or degrees-minutes-seconds (50°51'2"N 4°21'6"E). The first checked format is also the display format. Coordinates are converted before they reach the provider, so any provider works with any format. |
| Open by default | The lookup panel is open when end-users load the map. |
| End-users can save lookups | Shows a save star on their session lookups. Their saves last for the session only; yours ship with the map. |
| Saved lookups | The saved list; the entries present at save time ship with the map. Delete entries one by one or clear all. |
| Position | The map corner the widget lives in. |
What end-users see
Section titled “What end-users see”A pin button in the corner you picked opens the panel: Pick a location turns the cursor into a crosshair with a live coordinate label (one click looks up the address), the text field accepts typed coordinates, and the Saved / Recent lists keep the lookups: recent ones for the session, with a star to keep them when you allow it. A short notice states which service receives the coordinates.
