Update Location List While Typing?

Is it possible to display a list of locations that match what a user has typed into a text field so far? IOW, the list of locations should be dynamically filtered to match what the user types as they type.

Is that possible out of the box?

Yes, this is available out of the box. You will need to fill in your Google API keys in Settings → General:

Next, add a SearchBox input element on your canvas. Select Geographic places from the Choices style:

You can auto-bind this value to a parent’s data object, in this case a geographic address field on a data type User:

This seems to be not working even after following all steps for creating API Key from in google and updating in the app settings.
