Map template: initial latitude & longitude position not changing

Where are you located? May be it trys to detect your position automaticaly? Ther is parameter initiate position. When it is on it try to get position based on IP.

I am located in Australia

That parameter (detect position automatically) is part of the geo field settings (Google map input) to show the user his approximate location before he enters his address in the geo field.

Where I am having problems is the map display template for all the records locations. Section > general parameters > templates > record list > map.

There is ‘Initial zoom’, ‘initial latitude’ and ‘initial longitude’ but no setting to detect position automatically.

Now I see. Map is adjusted automaticaly to fit all markers. Just add few articles theer and you will see.

Hi Sergey

After I imported 558 records into the database below is what the default map view looks like.

I need the map to be centered on Australia and zoomed in more but the map template settings do not work.

Is the problem caused by the "Fit all markers to map" button? It is highlighted all the time and cannot be switched off.

How can I remove this feature? I can turn off all the other buttons in the map settings but not this one.

Thanks for your help.

Mel Is the problem caused by the "Fit all markers to map" button?

Not only buton. This button code is triggereed automaticaly on map render. You cannot turn this button off. This is mast have button.

But why this is not ok for you? With only one clik user may move to Australia at the same time user see all the other locations.

I would like to zoom in because it is not necessary to see North and South America as well as Australia and Asia twice on the one map. It has no purpose. The centering on Australia is not so important but as the new site is now Australian based with the .com.au extension most visitors will be from Australia. Why have the ‘initial zoom’ and ‘initial latitude’ and ‘longitude’ parameters if they do not work?

There is another reason I need to change the initial zoom. I would like to make the map height taller. But when I do there is a grey bar at the top which looks terrible. I would like to make it taller than in the example picture above but then the grey bar will be even wider.

Here is what it looks like 600px tall at 100% width. I turned clustering off. And now there is a grey bar at the bottom as well.

The button is o.k. It could be visible all the time. Most likely the feature speeds up a manually moved and zoomed map. So, it is a time saver on map usage.

Although, there should be a parameter to disable it, like for any other button. Why?

• makes it complete, and follows the logic for all other available options
• Allows to use the initial map center parameters. (currently it doesn,t make sense with auto-framing)

Done. And I am updating geo field in a minute.

Thanks Sergey, I really appreciate you doing this.

Sergey Done. And I am updating geo field in a minute.
