I am trying to figure out how to show on a single map all markers from different post types (e.g. all restaurants, all train stations, all hotels and so on). I´m sure this is easy to achieve but I havent´t found a specific tutorial for this yet - am I overlooking something ? Thanx in advance.

Hi Markus,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Actually All you need to do is follow the instructions here
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/display-on-google-maps/

Instead of limiting your view to 1 CPT just allow it to display multiple CPTs . This should allow you to have your Maps displaying the locations from the other CPT as well.

Thanks,
Shane

yes, I´ve been there before 🙂 ...when you are saying "Instead of limiting your view to 1 CPT just allow it to display multiple CPTs" where exactly do I make this adjustment ?

Hi Markus,

For example if you have a view that is listing Post Type A but you want it to list B as well all you need to do is go to the the Post Type selection and check B as well.

Are the different post types using the same custom field for the map ?

Thanks,

Yes, some had the same custom field name....so I renamed now an adress field of my custom post type (jobs) to "job-adresse" but it´s not showing in the dropdown, no matter what I do there are always just those 3 dropdown fields available ???

Hi Markus,

Mind if I took a look at this for you ?

The private fields will be enabled for your next response. Also please provide me with a link to the view that you are using for this.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Markus,

I'm happy to see that the issue was able to be resolved.

However since our support policy only allows us to handle one issue per thread I would advise opening a new ticket for assistance with getting the arrows.

Thanks,
Shane
