Toolset – Maps

Description

The Maps add-on adds address fields to Toolset Types and renders custom posts as markers on Google Maps and Azure Maps, with automatic clustering, custom icons, and distance search. It’s designed for anyone who needs to display geolocated directories (real estate, restaurants, physical stores, events) with radius filters within templates built in Toolset Views, without writing JavaScript for geocoding or integrating with the maps API.

Key Features of Maps

• Address field in Types
  Adds a custom field type with automatic geocoding for any post type.
• Support for Google Maps and Azure Maps
  Renders markers on both providers, with an API key configurable in the dashboard.
• Marker clustering
  Groups nearby pins into numbered clusters for maps with many points.
• Distance search in Views
  Filters results by radius in kilometers from an address provided by the visitor.
• Custom markers
  Lets you replace the default pin with your own images, with different icons by category.

Benefits of Maps

• Listings with geographic context
  Transforms Views results into navigable maps with clickable infowindows.
• Visitor-oriented location
  Brings people searching closer to the most relevant nearby content, increasing listing relevance.
• Performance for large datasets
  Clustering keeps the map smooth even with hundreds of loaded markers.
• Native fit within Toolset
  Works inside Views blocks and Forms forms without additional code.

Who Is Maps For?

• Anyone maintaining directories of real estate, restaurants, hotels, or physical stores and needs to display each item on a map.
• You who already build the site with Toolset Views and want to add radius search in archive templates.
• Anyone who needs to collect addresses via a Toolset Forms form and automatically convert them into map coordinates.

How to Download Maps

The Maps is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it in Plugins > Add New > Upload plugin, select the file, and activate it. With Toolset Types already active, new address fields start appearing in the custom fields editor, and map blocks become available in Views.

Maps closes the geographic gap in the Toolset ecosystem, converting custom post types with an address into interactive map interfaces with clustering, infowindows, and ready-to-use distance search. Works together with Views, Forms, and Blocks, eliminating the need for manual integration with the Google Maps JavaScript API and keeping all configuration centralized in the Toolset dashboard, without having to touch the theme’s PHP templates.
