I am trying to:
Display the client's London office location in the map on the Contact page.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
hidden link

I expected to see:
A place to enter the London address. See attached screengrab of my UI design.

In your instructions for displaying maps on the site's front end, it suggests 'Add a Marker field, and in the Marker address comes from section, select An address option and enter the address.' How do I add a Marker field? I didn't see this when I added a Toolset Map.

Instead, I got:
The sea off the coast of Africa. See other attached screengrab.

Hi, it depends on how you're adding the Map. If you added the map using a shortcode, you can add the marker using a shortcode as well. Click the "Fields and Views" button above the text editor and scroll to the Maps section. You should see an option for adding a marker like in the screenshot.

If you added the map some other way (like a block or a 3rd-party widget), please let me know.

Aha, thanks. I thought the Marker was inside the Map popup, not that I had to first add a Marker, then add a Map. It makes sense now. Thank you!
