WP Grid Builder - Map Facet

The add-on connects map views to grid filters, so visitors can explore location-based content through markers on a map. It supports Google Maps, Mapbox, and Leaflet, with markers tied to longitude and latitude coordinates for posts, users, or terms. This can help local directories, travel sites, and businesses present geographically organized content in a familiar visual format.

Visitors can search by location or use browser geolocation to find nearby results. The grid can update as users pan across the map, and marker clustering groups nearby points for clearer viewing. Site owners can also use ACF or Meta Box fields for coordinates, enter coordinates in grid preview, and sort results by distance from a selected or current location.

Features

• Multiple map providers: Build map filters with Google Maps, Mapbox, or the open-source Leaflet API, and choose from supported map styles and providers.
• Location-based markers: Display posts, users, or terms as map markers using their longitude and latitude coordinates.
• Geolocation search: Let visitors search and filter by location through Google or Mapbox APIs, or use browser geolocation to detect their current position.
• Filtering by map view: Update grid results as visitors pan or move around the map, aligning displayed content with the area in view.
• Marker clustering: Group nearby map markers into clusters to make maps easier to read when many locations are displayed.
• Sort by distance: Use a Sort facet to order filtered results by proximity to a chosen location or the visitor's current location.
• Custom field coordinates: Add latitude and longitude data to posts, users, or terms with custom fields from ACF or Meta Box.
