I’m having trouble finding a mapping solution
I need a map that will link to locations in a CMS rather than an embedded table, allow searching by radius from location, site name, and allow filtering by services offered. I do t seem to be able to find an app that will allow all of this functionality. Any ideas?
Working in
e.g. , Wix Editor , CMS,
What I’ve tried so far
Let us know what you’ve already tested, changed, or searched Wix map as doesn’t link to CMS but does search by location, Google maps links to CMS and will filter but not search by location or name.Mapbox had been suggested but I don’t know anything about it.
I tried to search for several options, I will provide pages where features are listed. Compare them with your request (I didn’t always manage to, since we often call same features not the way app providers present them)
-
Store Location Map | Wix App Market | Wix.com
-
Store Locator & Map | Wix App Market | Wix.com
-
Elfsight Store Locator widget - Pricing (Free and Premium plans) (They have ‘features’ under the pricing plans block)
I tried to research the Mapbox that you mention, but I found it too complicated, and couldn’t understand if it is of any use
If none of the above solutions work, the best direction is likely coded, since you’l have more control over the specifics.
If you head in that direction, my recommendation would be leafletjs in an iFrame - Leaflet - a JavaScript library for interactive maps - and then some code to communicate back and forth - we have a video to get started here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nt8nw25hEr8&t=3s
Leaflet is highly customisable, and open source. There’s a lot of tutorials around for it that would help with searching and filtering within given parameters
Another option I’d recommend is using the Google Distance Matrix API. It involves writing code, but will help you achieve what you’re looking for.
