Hey! Thanks for your answer 🙂
This could work if I would the app only write the user location right?

I would like to know how I could allow the user to save any location desired in the app, using markers on map
(= I place a marker on the map, I want the app to save this location)

To allow users to introduce new markers, you could create a form where the user can input a new location. However, you'd either need the user to introduce the coordinates, or set up the backend logic to do that (for instance, by using a service that returns the coordinates after sending the name of a place). Unfortunately, it wouldn't be the same experience as adding a pin on Google Maps or similar services.

However, we'll take note of your interest on this, to see if we can support this more smoothly in the future :)

That does not seem so user friendly ^^
I would like to build a crowdsourcing map app, so if the user have to search for coordinates, it's not worth it ;)

But yes it could be great if a simple solution could come in the future!
