Subject: Unable to Enter Starting Locations in Map Websites Using the WebViewer

[_1608]

Hello MIT App Inventor Support Team,

I am experiencing an issue with the WebViewer component in MIT App Inventor.

For example, in a navigation app I created, users enter a starting location and a destination, and then the app opens a map website in the WebViewer. However, I cannot enter a starting location on any map website opened through the WebViewer.

This issue occurs across multiple map websites, making it difficult to use the navigation feature properly.

Could you please help me identify the cause of this problem and suggest a solution?

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Best regards

See an example ( you have to adapt for other maps ):
