How use CreateMarker method

[Felipe Valenzuela]

Hello, i'm trying to develop an app, where i create a marker, with 2 coordinates given by the user.

The map component gives a method called CreateMarker, but i dont´t know how to join it to another block and what kind of block can i use to join with that method.

Thanks

Try this and a little ingenuity Felipe.  https://groups.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/mitappinventortest/LlYPkhP1Bw4  

Use a Textbox to input    latitude , longitude and parse it to a global variable of coordinates for a Marker   or  use two TextBoxes..one for latitude, the other longitude.

You can also have the user tap a location on the Map and capture the coordinates but the example does not show that method that might work for you too.

Try some blocks.  When you find a solution consider posting them here for others to learn.  If you have issues, ask again here...this is easy but requires a lot of blocks and an knowledge of the MIT  Maps documentation.l

Happy New Year,

Steve
