I am trying to: I am trying to set up a view that takes the current location of the user and shows a 5 miles radius of all the experts close to the user.

Instead, I got:

Hi there

Does your Google API key have a URL referrer restriction in place?

The issue of markers not displaying is almost always because of problems with how the whitelisted referrer is specified.

Could you first double-check that. If you have a referrer restriction I suggest you temporarily remove it so that the API key is not restricted, and then test again.

Let me know and we can continue if needs be.

How do I check if Google API key have a URL referrer restriction in place

[sahrf]

I have attached an image for API and Services. Not sure if this is right.

[Nigel]

That's the right place.

Your URL referrer restriction should look like the example, e.g.

*.melaninbeauty.co.uk/*

I have added that to the API credential

[Nigel]

And presumably it is still not working?

Could you try removing the restriction altogether and test so we can isolate if the problem is coming from the referrer restriction or if it is something else.

[sahrf]

I have set the the restriction to None.

I have create a login for yourself if you require it

If the referrer is okay then it looks like the set up of your map may be wrong where the markers are inserted.

I'll mark your next reply as private to get credentials from you if you want me to look at it.

What is the name of the View used to add the map?

[Nigel]

I took a quick look at your site and see the map markers are not working, but it is not immediately obvious why.

I made a test View ("Supporter Map") and added it to this page: hidden link

There it works fine.

I'll take a closer look at your View to try and understand the problem, but it will be tomorrow before I can reply again.

OK

[sahrf]

it's now working, now how do set the current location of the user and shows a 5 miles radius of all the experts close to the user?

[Nigel]

For that you need to insert a distance filter, much like you inserted the expert categories filter.

Use the New Filter button to insert the distance filter: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/display-on-google-maps/displaying-markers-on-google-maps/#filtering-markers-by-distance
