Integrating Google Maps

Question

Hi guys, 
 
 I am looking to integrate appian with google maps on a mobile device 
 I am wanting to be able to enter the address of a location, have it display in a SAIL component and to return the Latitude and Longitude to me in text boxes. 
 I have attempted to use the a!webcontentfield but when used on a mobile device it redirects me to a page that says I need an 'iFrame'. 
 When I use a link field it recognises the location I have asked it to find, but then it can obviously not return me the Lat and Long of the location. 
 Is this even possible on a mobile device? I have a feeling that I will always be required to navigate away from the mobile app to the web browser 
 
 Please help! 
 
 Best, 
 Anthony

I'm going to assume you have a GCP account setup and the appropriate API key for the geocode service? 
From there all you need to do is create an Integration object that points to maps.googleapis.com/.../json and pass in parameters of "address" and "key". This will return a JSON object that contains long and lat details.
