If you want the results on the same page then you will need to use the Views API to modify the query so that no results are displayed.
You can try the following code, which, if there is no wpv_post_search parameter in the URL as on the initial page load, will remove the View results.
You'll need to add that to your theme's functions.php file, or using a plugin such as Code Snippets. Be sure to edit the id of the View.
/**
* Custom wpv_filter_query_post_process usage
*
* Don't show View results if there is no search term
*/
function custom_wpv_filter_query_post_process( $query_results, $view_settings, $view_id ){
if ( 6 == $view_id ) { // Edit the id as required
// if there is a search term set
if ( !isset( $query_results->query['wpv_post_search'] ) ) {
$query_results->posts = array();
$query_results->post_count = 0;
}
}
return $query_results;
}
add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query_post_process', 'custom_wpv_filter_query_post_process', 10, 3 );
If you go back to where you insert the map itself using the wpv-map-render shortcode and do so again using the Fields and Views button, in the dialog you will find under Map Zoom and Center you have the option "Set zoom center and center manually" where you can enter coordinates that are used when the map loads and there are no markers.
I'm not sure why it hasn't worked on your site, but, having tried this out on a local test site myself, I think we need another solution.
The coordinates you use in those options will centre the map at the location (or should) but the map won't update position depending on the markers that are subsequently added according to the filters, and I doubt that is what you want.
So. Revert your wpv-map-render shortcode to how it was.
Now, add a marker directly after the wpv-map-render shortcode with a static location (coordinates, for example), meaning it does not occur inside the wpv-loop tags and is only added once.
If you now visit your map you should see when it initially loads the map is centred on these coordinates, even though you have no other markers showing.
Now, we don't want this marker when there are actual results to display.
So go back to this static marker shortcode you just inserted and wrap it in a conditional shortcode that checks to see whether a search term has been specified, so it should look something like this:
[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-search-term param="wpv_post_search"]' eq '' )"]
[wpv-map-marker map_id="map-1" marker_id="marker-[wpv-post-id]" address="1 Wall Street, New York, NY, United States"][/wpv-map-marker]
[/wpv-conditional]
