I'm planning a web app which shows notification based on user's location and map addresses. I plan to do this with Toolset map, if possible. I understand the web notification feature is not available at the moment, but I would love to hear your recommendations how to achieve the goal.

And this is the goal:
- Custom post type, "Location Point" (LP) which has map address
- When visitor is near any LP, she/he gets a web push notification. The proximation (how near/far) would be definable.

So, what would be needed to achieve this? I know Toolset Map already can "sniff" user's location if user allows this, right?

Hello,

There isn't such kind of built-in feature within Toolset plugins, it needs custom codes.

For example, you can try these:
1) Create a post view:
- Query "Location Point" posts
- Filter by
Show posts within 5km radius of the viewing user's location.
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/maps/display-on-google-maps/filtering-and-ordering-map-markers-by-distance/
- If there is any result found, display a custom JS codes

2) In this custom JS codes, trigger the notification, and push to your web app
