Tell us what you are trying to do? I want to add an accurate marker for all the airports in my list but some of the airport names are not accurate enough e.g. one is called 'Booker', so I can't just use the airport name. If I use the ICAO code e.g. 'EGTB' then there are ambiguous results. So is it possible to choose two of the fields in the field group? Or to combine two into one?

Is there any documentation that you are following? No

Is there a similar example that we can see? hidden link - this is accurate when using the name field in the field group

What is the link to your site? hidden link - the map shows a place in the USA instead of the Booker airfield in the UK

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

To accurately, show the results on the map, you'll need to use a dedicated "Address" type custom field. It will give you the control to save the exact location coordinates with each Airport post.

Here are the links to the related guides:

Yes, I know how to do it. I watched those videos, but my question was, can the marke be placed using two fields, not one. If I could use the name and the ICAO code for example, it would be accurate.

The data I'm using doesn't include a postal address, the names aren't accurate enough, and the coordinates don't seem to be correct for all of them either (I'm taking that issue up with the supplier).

Thanks anyway.
