I have to update the google map field with php, when I send the address and the coordinates, it doesn’t update, here is my code:

$value = array(“address” => $fullAddress, “lat” => $latitude, “lng” => $longitude);

update_field(‘coordinates’, $value, $post_id);

can anyone help me?

thanks in advance

Actually yes, but I had to check the database to see how a normal google map mark was being saved, because the google map mark is an array with the address, the latitude and the longitude, so I had to create the array and then send it to the custom field with update_post_meta

$coordinates = getCoordinates($fullAddress);
        $coordinates = explode(",", $coordinates);

        $latitude = $coordinates[0];
        $longitude = $coordinates[1];

        $google_map_mark = array();
        array_push($google_map_mark, "address");
        array_push($google_map_mark, $fullAddress);
        array_push($google_map_mark, "lat");
        array_push($google_map_mark, $latitude);
        array_push($google_map_mark, "lng");
        array_push($google_map_mark, $longitude);

        $value = array("address" => $fullAddress, "lat" => $latitude, "lng" => $longitude);

update_post_meta($post_id, 'coordinates', $value);
