Places

With this feature, you will be able to create a list of geolocated places.

It will display all the places on a map, or, if the user opens the sheet of a particular location, he will be able to get the path and directions to this location, by walking or driving.

The listing of the locations is sort according to the distance between the locations and the user, from closest to farthest.

Click on  on the “Add Pages” section to add the feature to your app:

Add Places

Click on  to add a Place:

Then, you have to enter an address for this location and/or its coordinates (The Google autocomplete should help)

If you check the “Display address” checkbox, the address will be shown in the sheet of the location.

If you check the “display location button” checkbox, it will display a button that will allow the user to see the path to this location.

Be sure you have your Google Maps API Keys set.

You can also add other Sections (see Custom Page for more information).

When you are done, click on  to add the place.

Once you have set up the list, it could look like that:
