The Geodirectory plugin claims to be "the only WordPress directory plugin on the market that can scale to millions of listings and withstand the battering of traffic that comes along with that" (see hidden link).

I am thinking about replacing the Geodirectory plugin with Toolset. Can you make the same claims that they do?

I guess the biggest issue is the ability to do "near me" searches or searches near a specific city or zip code. Is that possible with Toolset?

Hi,

Welcome to Toolset support and I'd be happy to assist.

While we don't have any comparison sheet available specifically in the context of the Geodirectory plugin, you'll find our more general comparison page useful:

Toolset Maps plugin does support the search based on the visitor's location or any other location coming from Google (which can be a city, Zip, etc):

I hope these resources will help and let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

regards,
Waqar
