WPAdverts Maps and Locations Addon GPL – completely solves the problem of managing locations. Hierarchical Locations database and Google Maps integration – made easy!
Put the power of MAPS on your classifieds!
We’ve learned that one of the biggest challenges your classifieds business will face is locations…
Why? Well it’s surprising how often people:
And yet they DO have a very strong preference for the areas or distance they’re willing to look!
Also, some names are very common. There are 38 places in America called Arlington, 33 places called Springfield, and 88 different Washingtons, so you can see the potential problem!
Maps and Locations (MAL) completely solves ALL location issues. It allows hierarchical lists of locations (for example Country > State > City) both when creating an Ad AND when searching by location.
This means no more misspelled location names and always accurate search results for visitors. Your result is a more user-friendly, professional website that both sellers and buyers love to use!
Webmasters using Google’s Maps API were shocked in 2018 when Google declared it was no longer free to use Google maps on your own website.
Happily it does remain quite affordable, and Maps and Locations is optimized to reduce your API usage and costs.
Google gives you $200 in credit each month for free, and for many websites, using our crafty and careful optimization to reduce ‘calls’ to the API, the free credit is probably enough. Note that Google also offers – and charges for – their “AutoComplete” API. You can see more about the Maps API and AutoComplete API on our blog here.
MAL is fully integrated with both Google Maps and Places API, and Google’s AutoComplete API. This powerful combination makes it simple for the user to search as the search box offers suggestions and Google Maps can display on each Ad details page.
Suppose you just don’t want to deal with all that? Then we have good news, as Maps and Locations is also built to work with the completely free Open Street Maps instead!
To switch between them is easy, you just change a single parameter from value“ google” to “osm” and WPAdverts figures out the rest for you.
The integration with OSM has pretty much the same functionality like integration with Google Maps, except for the integration with the Category Icons extension. That is something we will be adding pretty soon.
