Listit2 and CG Google Maps

Post by Torpedine »

Hello everybody. Is it possible to display a map related to the Listit2 record, in a similar way that's possible with Company Directory?

Thanks in advance

it would be but would need a little more work!

have a look at the google maps modules - there's deff one (im sorry cant remember which right now) that allows you to create dynamic points on a map, you'll prob need to add lat/long or address parameters to your listit instance :)

It's very simple, but you have to make your own lookup service for items to get GeoCodes.

Google has lookup service but it can only handle 10 requests per second, so you have to pay for it.

Best way would make module that does the lookup, or use CGmaps lookup.

Save looked up lat and long to two fields and bring this info into any map module / script.

Best way is again make field that does lookup and saves coordinates to database on LI submit. This requires some PHP knowledge.

Here is map example im working currently: http://www.majoitusmestari.fi/

It's currently Google driven and uses native V3 Gmaps API, nothing to do with CGGoolgeMaps. But like i said Google limits GeoCode lookup to 10 per request, without paid API.

So like zaid said, there are options but not rdy one.
