Features? Hidden maybe!? 

There are a number of standard Googlemap features that appear to be missing... the documentation isn't very clear on options.

  1. Is there any way to change the location icon based on something (like a custom attribute)?
  2. Can one alter the information the info bubble shows. I would have assumed that the editable description text would be shown, but it doesn't.
  3. Is there some way to show the map only.
  4. Is there a 'setting' that allows the markers the ability to be clicked which would then move the user to the appropriate detail page?
  5. Is there any way to set the initial map view to VIEW ALL location types?

  1. There is not a built-in way to change out the marker image.  However, if you wanted to try some slightly fancy CSS to accomplish that, you're welcome to.  The images have the CSS class gmnoprint, so you could write a style like the following to replace those images:
    .gmnoprint { padding-top: 9999px; background: transparent url(/path/to/your/image.png) no-repeat; }
  2. The text in the information bubble can't be changed right now, unfortunately.
  3. There is not a built-in way to show only the map.  However, again, you could hide the list by using a little CSS (either in your portal stylesheet to hide the location list everywhere, or in the page's setting [manually in the Page Header Tags section] if you just want it hidden on specific pages).  That'd look something like this:
    .locationsGridWrapper, locationsGridPaging { display:none; }
  4. There is no setting to enable this behavior.
  5. In the settings, you should be able to select multiple location types.  Does that work for you?

These are some great suggestions!  If you wouldn't mind, can you create issues from these in our issue tracking system?  Then we can look into adding these as real supported features in a future version.

Hope that helps,

Re: Features? Hidden maybe!? 

If you do find a way to display different marker images based on custom attribute (or even better location type), please post a follow-up!  We're buying Locator and this bit of functionality would swing it.

Meanwhile, I've added this suggestion to the issue tracker.

Thanks

Jeremy
