Latitude, Longitude and GeoMakePoint. Show another field name as label instead of coordinates

Hello, I'm new to QlikSense but I have some basics

I want to perform an "almost easy" task if performed with other more geo-oriented software.
The task is to assign the name of each Location point with the value of a correspondent field:

In the script editor, location is calculated as follow:

 

Load ...
GeoMakePoint(Lat, Long) as Location
Address // $Str 

I should note the Address may not be the last choice, I could also wanna assign the name of the Customer in that location.. Address is an example of a generic string value related to Location So I need to use Lat, Long)

 



Visually is easier to explain: That's the task. Assign Brno to the point label instead of the Lat/Long values.

I hardly found any information on the internet/QlikSense forums. So I'm trying to ask here.
I tryed also to use the load editor as follow:

 


tag field Address With '$geoname', '$relates_Location';
tag field Location With '$geopoint', '$relates_Address';

 


Obviously not working.


I should note the Address may not be the last choice, I could also wanna assign the name of the Customer in that location.. Address is an example of a generic string value related to Location
I hope someone may help me! 
Thanks

This can all be done easily in the front end with the Map object.

Create your point layer.

Set your dimension to what you want your point to be labelled as in your case city.  In mine I want the team name.

Set the location to your geo field in your case Long Lat.  I had mine by city.

See below.
