Description

Map Facet adds to WP Grid Builder a map facet type capable of rendering post, term, or user markers from latitude and longitude coordinates, with support for Google Maps, Mapbox, and Leaflet. The extension also includes a geolocation facet to search by address via Google or Mapbox APIs, detect location by browser, and filter grids as the user navigates or moves the map.
