Toolset Maps is a WordPress plugin that allows you to add address fields to any content type or users and display any content on Google Maps.
Toolset Maps User Guides include detailed documentation for creating these special address fields, adding pointers to them and displaying them on maps.

Problem: Will upcoming changes to the Google Maps API pricing structure affect my site?
Solution: The changes in Google Maps will certainly apply to your site, but may or may not affect your site in a noticeable way. In plain language, Google is enforcing a fee for each address that the site converts to a location on a map. Those fees are charged to the API Key owner, not to Toolset. Google will give you $200 worth of this service each month at no charge. For the majority of our clients, this free service tier is sufficient for their needs and they will never incur any additional cost. However, if in one month you add a large number of new points on a map, or clear your existing geolocation cache in Toolset > Settings > Maps, you may exceed the $200 threshold. If you exceed the $200 free trial per month, your site Users may be shown error messages on your maps, and distance filtering may not work as expected.
In technical terms, Toolset uses the Google Maps API to convert each address when it is first entered or saved, then stores that address's location on the map in a cache for future use. This means that the locations that have already been mapped will not be charged again, only new addresses saved on the site. If you empty the location cache, you will be charged to convert those addresses the next time they are shown on a map. If your site implements static maps, you may be charged according to Google's policies for those maps as well, but most people don't use these.
Problem:
The client inserts a map in a template with a zoom level attribute that is not working, the maps are always maximally zoomed in.
Solution:
In this case the client was bulk importing posts using WP All Import, and had an error in their import template which was importing the address field twice and creating the problem. Details in the ticket below.
Problem: I am trying to add conditional HTML that displays different Map Markers depending on the taxonomy term applied to the post. The conditionals do not seem to work, and when I add debug="true" I do not see any debug information printed to the page.
Solution: In this case, the problem is that the conditionals use the function "has_term", which must be registered in Toolset > Settings > Frontend Content > Functions inside conditional evaluations. If it's not registered, the conditionals will fail silently.
Problem:
How to show just the nearest result to a location in a Maps View?
Solution:
It is currently not possible. We have a feature request to order the results by distance that would enable this (by limiting the results to 1), but it is not implemented yet.
