This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
A Places post type has an address field. When viewing one place, how to show a map with other nearby places?
Solution:
You use a View to create the map as normal, but when inserting the View in a template for Places you include a distance Query Filter to show places within a certain distance of the location which is passed by shortcode attribute 'mapcenter'.
Then when you insert the View in the template you use the types address field to provide the mapcenter attribute, like so:
[wpv-view name="nearby-locations" mapcenter="[types field='home-address'][/types]"]

Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have a custom post type named 'Places' which includes an address field.
Real example:
Mumbai - hidden link
Kolad - hidden link
Kamshet - hidden link
Lonavala - hidden link
I have created a view named 'Nearby Places (Maps)'. Using this view, I want to display a list of nearby places (within 300 km).
I want to display this view on the Place page.
If I am viewing the place Mumbai (hidden link)
I want to display a list of nearby places, that is - Kolad, Kamshet and Lonavala)
If I am viewing the place Kolad (hidden link)
I want to display a list of nearby places, that is - Mumbai, Kamshet and Lonavala)
and so on.
Please help me with the options I should select in the Query Filter to achieve this. (Screenshot attached)

Wow! This worked perfect. Thanks a ton.
Just one more help needed. How do I set the Ordering to display the closest locations first (ascending).
For example,
If I am viewing the place Mumbai, the view should display the Nearby Places in the following sequence. (As I know the distance).
Lonavala (82.8 km)
Kamshet (105.4 km)
Kolad (126.6 km)
At the moment, it is showing in the following sequence.
Kamshet
Kolad
Lonavala
Please see the attached screenshot for my current Ordering settings.
Kindly help.
