Hi, when I click on a specific location in a google map, I would like to retrieve the relative coordinates. Is that possible? Thanks ---

Thx. I assume that there is no way to do it without using HTMLComponent, right? ---

Take a look onto this one… [https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/$w/googlemap/location](https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/$w/googlemap/location) ---

thx again. I need to fetch the location when i click on the marker on the map because I will use the location to fetch other information and display them as a box on the map. Basically I would need an onClick on the location marker unless there is another way that I cannot see… ---

The google-map out of the Wix-Box won’t make you happy. Why? 1. single-location-point only (no possibility to set multiple-pins on map) 2. no click-event-option onto the marker All you can do on the provided version is. [https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/$w/googlemap/location](https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/$w/googlemap/location) You will have to go the CUSTOM-WAY (like in most cases) if you want to generate your own wished functionality on your page. This is your way to success… > **[Example: Multiple Markers Google Maps | Velo by Wix](https://community.wix.com/velo/forum/tips-tutorials-examples/example-multiple-markers-google-maps)** > > \#Example #GoogleMaps #MultipleMarkers #MarkerClustering #CustomControls #HtmlComponent #APIKey #security > > Demonstrates > • HtmlComponent > • Google Maps Javascript API > Required for this example > • In order to use this example in the editor, you will need... 1.
