What could be causing the issue where the map is only shown for the first city in the database when switching to different cities?

If you are experiencing an issue where the map is only shown for the first city in the database when switching to different cities, there could be a few potential causes. Here are a few things you can check to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

  1. Verify the data binding: Make sure that the map is properly bound to the correct data source. Each city should have its own latitude and longitude values stored in the database. Double-check that the map element is correctly connected to these data fields.

  2. Check the filtering settings: If you are using a filter to switch between cities, ensure that the filter is correctly configured to show the correct data for each city. The filter should be set up to display only the relevant data based on the selected city. Double-check the filter settings to ensure they are working as expected.

  3. Confirm the interaction settings: If you have set up interactions or dynamic interactions on the map element, make sure they are configured correctly. Check the conditions and triggers of the interactions to ensure they are properly connected to the data and events you want them to respond to. Incorrect interaction settings could cause the map to only show data for the first city.

  4. Test the data source: Check the database to ensure that the data for each city is properly stored and accessible. Verify that the latitude and longitude values for each city are correctly entered in the database. If there are any inconsistencies or errors in the data, it could cause the map to display incorrectly when switching between cities.

  5. Review custom code or third-party integrations: If you have added any custom code or integrated third-party services into your Webflow project, double-check that they are not causing conflicts or issues with the map display. In some cases, external code or integrations can interfere with the functionality of certain elements, including maps.

  6. Test in different browsers and devices: Sometimes, issues with map display can be browser or device-specific. Test your project in different browsers (such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.) and on different devices (desktop, mobile, tablet) to see if the issue persists across different environments. This can help you pinpoint any compatibility or rendering issues that may be causing the map to only show for the first city.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue where the map is only shown for the first city when switching to different cities in your Webflow project.
