This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
I can add addresses, but I cannot search those by distance in a View.
The View itself is set up properly, and it should work.
What could be wrong?
Solution:
The API Key itself could be misconfigured.
Please follow all Documentation here (and therein linked) https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/display-on-google-maps/creating-a-google-maps-api-key/
You will need to enable:
- Google Maps Geocoding API
- Google Maps JavaScript API
- Google Places API

I am trying to: use toolset_maps_distance_radius but it fails
Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link
I have activated the Maps JavaScript API.
Do I need some other APIs?
Which ones are missing for using it.
I want to implement a search for distances from a fixed ZIP-Code or a fixed place.
Best Regards
Andreas
It works for me, I searched for 1KM within Marienhagen, Deutschland, and it shows one result only, see the screenshot above
Can you elaborate on what you try to achieve and what does not work exactly as planned?
Maybe some screenshots or/and steps to replicate the issue could help me to understand it better.
Note that you cannot feed Toolset Views a ZIP code in a distance search, it will work with data defined when saving the address, though.
We have a document that you can use as a reference for this:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/display-on-google-maps/filtering-and-ordering-map-markers-by-distance/
We also have a live example, which you can actually use as a Kickstarter - it includes a distance search:

You can download that framework to a local development site, for example, export the modules needed for the Address Search with Module Manager and import them to your current site after modifications, for example.
This is a very effective way of developing complex aspects, using pre-made structures that you can add style.
I see no problem in the functioning of your API so far in the search, as I receive results, hence I think with above boilerplate examples you can further develop the search if required, and see what's possible (ZIP Code search, unfortunately, is not, natively)
Please let me know if I missed something, and if you need more information about creating distance searches.
