Tell us what you are trying to do?

I have three CPTs that I'd like to be able to organize by location. I'd like to organize it by Country, State, and City. Is this something that would best be achieved by creating a custom taxonomy and making it hierarchical or is this something that can be achieved using the maps integration?

Thanks.

Hello,

If you don't need specific the location point in Google map, you can try one of below two options:
1) A custom hierarchical taxonomy:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/create-custom-taxonomies/

2) If you need setup a custom search form, like below demo site:
hidden link
User can choose the options in search form: Country-> State-> City
You can try with post types relationships, for example:
