Using the location field type

  1. Add the field to a field layout (for example to a section)

  3. When clicking this button you will get a popup. Type the adress to search for a location.
  4. You will now get a dropdown list. Click on one of the options in the dropdownlist to choose a location.
  5. The location will be shown on the map below

Usage sample to display a map with one location

Display a google map with the choosen location in a twig template

{{ entry.fieldName.getMap() }}
Properties of the icon field
  1. Get the location address (string)

    {{ entry.fieldName.address }}
    
  2. Get the location latitude

    {{ entry.fieldName.lat }}   
    
  3. Get the location longitude

    {{ entry.fieldName.long }}
    
  4. Display a map with the location. Options is an array, see options part

    {{ entry.fieldName.getMap()|raw }}
    

Usage sample to display a map with more locations

To display more locations on the same map (a marker for every location), we use the twig function dolphiqMap. Lets say we have a structure called hospitals with entries that each have a location field. To display a map with all locations do the following in a twig template:

{% set hospitals = craft.entries.section('hospitals').all() %}
{% set locations = {} %}

{% for hospital in hospitals %}

    {% set locations = locations|merge({(loop.index) : hospital.location}) %}
    
{% endfor %}

{{ dolphiqMap(locations, {width:'100%', height:'500px'})|raw }}
