Max,

Thanks for your time and interest in the community. Plus one (+1) for the feature request to write latitude and longitude to a separate table linked by entry id. As ender said it will make querying via SQL and using distance formulas for proximity searches easier.

regarding separate table - it’s done and work. With searching in radius is not a problem too. But I’m want to finish publish page UI. At this moment I add possibility to entered “maximum of points”, so you can make picture like this. The question is - do we need additional fields for each of points? If yes - which fields? Title + comment? Icon type?

p.s. btw all this work become to be close to Matrix like data saving, so it will be easy to done theGrid 😊

Hey Max,

Wonderful addition to EE2. Any ideas why I am getting only a partial map: http://cl.ly/13rW

Thanks, Ryan

Hi Max and thanks for this great Add-on !

I’ve tried your code to display an entry on a map and it worked great ! But I’m having an issue when I try to display the lat and long of an entry, here’s my code :

{exp:channel:entries channel="companies" limit="10"}
    {company-map}
        {latitude} : {longitude}
    {/company-map}
{/exp:channel:entries}

This returns nothing, not even the semicolon, if you have an idea of what it could come from…

By the way, I was wondering if you were planning to add an InfoWindow feature to help add information for a marker.

Thanks again, keep it up !

Another thing I’m wondering, is it possible NOT to set any address or point ? I don’t need it for an entry, but I can’t get the field to set the address to null, it takes the field default value instead.

Thanks !

Hi Max!

I have the same problem as Benjamin David; {longitude} and {latitude} aren’t displaying anything, and even the characters between aren’t showing up. Here’s my code:

{exp:channel:entries channel="stations" limit="1" dynamic="off"}
   {station_location}
      {latitude}: {longitude}
    {/station_location}
{/exp:channel:entries}

Hello everyone, Alex Carabi & Benjamin David - sorry, it will be available in next build. Short status update - the new build will publish at 06.10

What I have now: Multipoint’s per one field. Location searching New tags like {latitude}/{longitude} Additional fields per point (Benjamin David – by infowindow). The field list: address, city, state, zip, comment, icon type. Is it enough fields?

Hi Max, I’m looking for a way to show a google map that displays a location based on only country and post code, specifically France and then a 5 digit post code.

For example France 50340, gets me a google map that shows me the area I live in France. Is this something MX Google Map can do?

Thanks and best wishes Lee

Hi Max,

Thanks for the great plugin. I’m also looking to set multiple points on the map as well as possibly set the value to null (as some entries do not require a map). Do you have an idea as to when the next release will be coming out?

Thanks

Mike
