I need to mark on the map the current user location.

I am using the code bellow:
[wpv-geolocation]
[wpv-map-marker map_id='feed-map-filter' marker_id='marker-6' marker_field='visitor_location' map_width="100%" map_height="600"]
[/wpv-map-marker]
[/wpv-geolocation]

But it did not work.

Question: on the marker_field I am using 'visitor_location'. Is that correct ?

Tks,

Guido.

Hi, first you need to be sure your site is served on HTTPS. Without HTTPS, the browser's geolocation API will not work. The documentation here contains some additional information about displaying the User's current location: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/display-on-google-maps/displaying-markers-on-google-maps/#displaying-current-visitor-location

The marker_field attribute should not be used here. The shortcode looks something like this:

[wpv-map-marker map_render='immediate' current_visitor_location='true' map_id='feed-map-filter' marker_id='marker-6'][/wpv-map-marker]
