Use Toolset map as a filter in archive

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The user would like to use the markers on a Toolset Map as a filter, once we click on a marker, the view should filter the posts that are near it.

Solution:
This is not built into Toolset. We, currently, can filter post by distance from the user location or a location entered in the location field. We can't filter from a marker.

From the screenshot it is an archive, each post has their address. Can I use a map as a filter? what it means is that user clicks a place on the map, then the search result will just display then post only. Can this be achieved?

Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I suppose that you want to filter the archive based on a distance from a defined center, and you want to define the center by clicking on the map, right?
Currently, we only offer two ways to define the center:
- The address entered in the address filter.
- User location by clicking on the button (use my location).

If you believe this feature should be added to Toolset, let me know and I'll ask for a new feature, then our product manager will evaluate it and eventually schedule its development.

I hope this answers your question. Let me know your feedback, or let me know if I did not understand the question correctly.

What I want is that for my example, there are 2 placed displayed on the map, I want to click one of the place to do the further filter. After selecting a place on the map, the search result only appear just one record.

That's currently not possible. A view/map can be filtered by distance either from the search address field or the current user location.

But, If you click on a marker, you may have a little popup with more details about the marker's post.

1. in an archive page, how can I enter an address filter? What field do I add? where do I add? Any documentation about this?
2. Where can I find "use my location" button? I don't in a map in an archive page.
3. can I set up a hint text when a mouse stay on the place icon on the map? I want to show the custom field content when the mouse cursor stays on the place icon.
