Map behaviour

Map behaviour controls where your map centers on first load, and how it handles searches that return no results. It's a section inside the Customize your map subpage of Settings > Appearance & Search.

Accessing map behaviour

1. Go to Apps > Store Locator > Settings > Appearance & Search.
2. Select Customize your map.
3. Select Map behaviour from the section list.
4. Make your changes.
5. Click Save.

Initial map position

Initial map position sets where your map centers, and how far it's zoomed in, the moment a customer's browser first loads it.

1. Drag and zoom the preview map on the right until it shows the view you want customers to see by default.
2. Click Capture map position to save that view's coordinates and zoom level into the Initial latitude and Initial longitude fields.
3. Optionally, fine-tune the position by editing Initial latitude and Initial longitude directly.
4. Click Save.

Improve search

• Load locations with map: on by default. Turn it off and locations won't show on initial load, only after a search. If Show nearest locations is on, it overrides this setting.
• Show nearest locations: when a customer's search returns no results, show a set number of nearest locations instead.
• Number of nearest locations: how many nearest locations to show when the above is on.
• Set location order: the default order locations are listed in. Choose from Distance, Oldest added, Newest added, Ascending (A-Z), or Descending (Z-A).

Does this apply to Where to buy?

No. Where to buy always shows the fixed set of locations linked to the product you're viewing. It never runs a search and never has zero results, so none of these fields apply.
