GoogleMap - Areas, Routes and WayPoints with Cobalt ?

This is very easy. But you have to use custom template. The base it that

$item->fields_by_id[12]->values['position']['lat']

$item->fields_by_id[12]->values['position']['lng']

Contain position of the listing. You can add circles or create routes.

Sorry it has nothing to do with this subject.

Pepper i tried to contact via twitter, did u received my e-mail contact? I would like to contact you via skype or mail to discuss a project.

thanks

Hi, I like what I see in this last link can cobalt do this out of the box, if so I will buy atonce, if it is easy to be done with all these options on maps and with customized location markers, please explain how can be done with cobalt. Thank you.

As far as i can tell, the example site makes use of Cobalt's core features AND mainly the extra field "Address & Location". Which includes a special map/list template.

On the right sidebar is the extra modules "Filters". The module display is an addon... But you can have the same advanced search and filters above the list display. Which is included in Cobalt's default features.

The Address & Location field has many more options and features. You might buy it separately, or you might choose the Subscription package. Which gives you ALL available addons and templates.

BTW, the annoying login message with "geoIP" blah blah, can be turned off in configuration. Hopefully this issue is being solved in the next updates.

hi,

how can we display nearby stuff with the map. For example, nearest railway station , nearest primary/secondary school, religious place etec etec with the location?

Field records has special option to show other articles whithin a distance of current article.

Screenshot of Records field - Within Distance

Example

Records field is placed on Profile type. Position data is the profiles Address field.
Show records from Event type in a distance of 5km.

You might extend this further with Narrow by category if your locations are assigned to certain categories. Or you might use the Searh from / in parameter to let the profile owner give some personal preferences. i.e. I like churches and bars.

not sure if you get my point. The nearby location like train station, churches, bar etc needs to be displayed in the map and these information needs to come from google, not stored in joomla db. it wull just look at the location and get all the nearby stuff details from the google and display it on the map. This is what I need.

brianpat these information needs to come from google, not stored in joomla db. it will just look at the location and get all the nearby stuff details from the google and display it on the map. This is what I need.

Sorry, I don't get it, yet. Where do the near-by locations come from? What do you mean by "from google". Do you mean basic and common map infos?

Cobalt's Address & Location field also provides the Distance search/Proximity filter. Maybe this can help you. You may create a pre-filtered URL, then the map will show a map according to your location.

The nearby stuff from the location is from google and not from local db. For example, have a look at the following url:

http://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/35319736#FPkDO2YZHVtmHCFD.97

click Map & nearby, you will see checkboxes of nearby places. If you select them, they will be displayed on the map. These nearby locations are not coming from local db, they are coming frpm google.

I think it is possible by using google places API, which is as below.

https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/?csw=1

This should be implemented by default within cobalt. This will give the end user more information regarding what is available near the ADVERTISEMENT (arcticle)

Geo field shows goole map in the article and by default all places are shown there as well. Those are not markers, but those are there.

Sergey by default all places are shown

Mayba a nice feature to define the available POI/place "types". Then display those "types" and optionally let the user show/hide some of them.

The Gmap API documentation speaks off "place types".

See example implementation and parameters in ZH GoogleMap extension. Here is a link to the wiki with parameter screenshot.

Yes this is what i want,but how will i integrate it?

If you open ouput template of geo field, you can see map JS there. YOu can create a copy of that template and add there places or whatever possible with Google map API
