Problem:

I have 2 custom fields (numbers). One is the lat and one is the long value for coordinates. The ccordinates are like this:

Field lat: 44.00502022

Field lng: 10.60029922

Every house has two fields for the coordinates. I have around 14.000 house objects. Is it possible to show all the objects on one map and how do i have to configure the view with this custom fields?

Solution:

Yes, it is possible, you can create a post view, query "house objects" posts, display a map shortcode, in the Views loop, setup the attributes "lat" and "lon" of marker shortcode as your custom fields "Field lat" and "Field lng" values, see our document:

https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/maps-shortcodes/#wpv-map-marker

lat and lon. Optional, both default to empty. Another optional source of the marker location, allows to display a marker given its latitude and longitude coordinates. Both values need to be passed.

Problem:

on my website I have Areas, which are parent of Sectors.
Each Sector has one location.

Each Area page has a map displaying all the sectors on that Area.

I want to create a page listing all the Areas, with a general map showing all the Sector

Solution:

Yes, it is possible, it needs a nested view, for example:

Relevant Documentation:

Problem: I would like to place a map mark at a specific latitude and longitude. The value of that latitude should be defined by the results of a View. The longitude should be defined by the results of a different View. When I insert the View shortcode in the map marker shortcode, the marker doesn't show up correctly.

Solution: Instead of placing the View inside the lat or long attribute, move the entire marker shortcode inside the View.
