Hello,

I'm trying to find a "How to" on adding a find-near-me / "store locator" using Views and Maps.

I know this has been requested and geolocation has been added - I just can't find anything that specifically describes how to use.

I have an existing map hidden link. I want to add "Enter address / Use my location" as demonstrated on https://toolset.com/home/toolset-maps/ in exampled 05 (and 09?).

I'm happy to follow an existing how-to document or video. I just can't find one.

Thanks.

Hi Peter,

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

You'll find useful information related to how the Toolset Map's distance-based search filter works in this guide:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/maps/display-on-google-maps/filtering-and-ordering-map-markers-by-distance/

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar
