Hello, i've seen an old youtube video where someone creates a map next to a list of people for showing people locations. I'm trying to do the same but it seems that the list doesn't have anymore a map view. I tried to create a page with a map webpart and a list of people and location but they don't seem to be linked.
Basically i need a list of people and their locations. And a map showing pins for such locations. clicking on the pins i should see all the people of that locations and their details.
Is there a solution for doing it in sharepoint without using third-part apps? I wouldn't want to make such thing in javascript-css...

@antonioaunix you can do this with Power Apps and a SharePoint list or Excel spreadsheet as the data source. And then use the Power Apps web part to display the map on the page. More info is at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/geospatial-component-map

Short answer no.
Long answer: look for alternatives like:
- Power Apps as @RobElliott suggested (still involves coding / getting license key, configuring list with location details, ...)
- Use 3rd party apps that provide integration with maps, e.g. example (this also requires one-off configuration of the location key + getting license key Google Maps)
- Develop your own solution
