Lesson Notes
The Address step is the foundation of every order. Vremly uses Mapbox geocoding under the hood, which means it understands partial street addresses, city names, postal codes, and even neighborhood references. As you type, autocomplete suggestions appear in a dropdown. Each suggestion shows the matched street address on one line and the full place name (city, region, country) on a second line so you can confirm you have the right property before tapping.
Once you select a suggestion, Vremly captures more than just the address string. It stores the full structured address components — street line, city, region, postal code, and country code — as well as the precise latitude and longitude coordinates. These coordinates power the map marker that appears on the booking map, and they are stored on the order so the dispatched technician can navigate directly to the property. Never type a free-form address without selecting an autocomplete suggestion if you can avoid it: the coordinate capture only happens when a Mapbox suggestion is chosen.
On the web booking flow, the Address step renders the search field in a card at center-screen. A green-bordered confirmation panel appears below once an address is selected, showing a map pin icon and the full address string. Selecting an address automatically advances the flow to the next step — you do not need to click a 'Continue' button. This auto-advance is intentional: the address is the only input on this step, so there is no reason to hold the user on the screen after it is confirmed.
On iOS, the Address step lives inside a bottom drawer sheet that sits over a full-screen Mapbox map. The drawer starts at a compact height (about 280 points) so the map is mostly visible behind it. When you tap the search field and start typing, the drawer expands to medium height so autocomplete predictions have room to render below the field. The map's center-pin marker updates in real time as you type — you can also drag the map directly to reposition the pin, and the app will reverse-geocode the new position back into the address field. Tapping a prediction snaps the map to those coordinates and auto-advances to the next step, exactly like the web.
If location permission is granted on iOS, the app performs a one-shot GPS fix on first launch and reverse-geocodes your current position into the address field automatically. If you are booking from the property itself, the address may already be filled in correctly when the Address step opens. Always verify the auto-filled address against the actual property before advancing — GPS accuracy can vary by a few meters.
Key Takeaways
- Always select a Mapbox autocomplete suggestion to capture the full address plus GPS coordinates.
- Selecting an address auto-advances the flow — no 'Continue' button required on this step.
- On iOS, drag the map to fine-tune the pin position; the address field updates via reverse geocoding.
- Auto-filled GPS location on iOS is a convenience — verify it matches the actual listing before continuing.
- Structured address components (city, region, postal code) are captured automatically from the Mapbox suggestion.
