Please link the API docs here for the command you are using so we know what you’re talking about specifically.

What feature on this page? ==> https://docs.coronalabs.com/api/index.html

https://docs.coronalabs.com/api/library/native/newMapView.html ??

If so, please read: https://docs.coronalabs.com/api/library/native/newMapView.html#general

If you mean something else, please let us know.  Thanks!

PS - If you didn’t already have a specific API feature in mind, then consider Google Services - Maps.  You can retrieve a map with this service on any device including desktop.  It won’t be interactive, but we’ll need to know more about your usage to help.

   – Create a native map view

    myMap = native.newMapView( 20, 20, screenWidth,screenHeight/2.5 )

    myMap.x = display.contentCenterX

    myMap.y = screenTop+myMap.height/2

    screenGroup:insert(myMap) 

    

    – Display map as vector drawings of streets (other options are “satellite” and “hybrid”)

    myMap.mapType = “satellite”

    

    – Initialize map to a real location

    myMap:setCenter( 36.174465, -86.767960 ) --nashville tn.

This is straight from the api , i declare the map (myMap) i need user to be able to request location , map to 

scroll to that, further user can request things, (cafe, gas station etc…) program searches database , gets coordinates and drops pin on map for requested place. works great on mobile devices, not OS X…

Thanks in Advance…
