iansargent Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Hey! Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, I did a search and couldn't see anything. I've created a map for my client via Snazzy maps (he needed something with a lot of location markers so the normal map widget wouldn't suffice). He's now asked if it is possible for the users GPS location to be displayed on the map when someone is on the page. I assume it's not possible as there's no option in snazzy maps itself. But wonder if there's a way around that as it's basically taking google maps and adding a skin to it. Cheers, Ian Beyondspace 1 Link to comment

Cheers, Ian You can implement this feature using html5 geolocation or using IP detection to get the current user lat-lng and display on the map, snazzy map is only a styling map which is provided via JSON option, the main feature still be google maps BeyondSpace - Squarespace Website Developer 🖼️ Lightbox Studio (Enable Pinch/Zoom on lightbox) 🗓️ Delivery Date Picker (Squarespace Date picker form field) 💫 Gallery block 7.1 workaround 🥳 Sparkplugin Customisations Browsers (Browse +100 Spark plugin customisations) 🥳 Elfsight Template Browsers (Browse +1000 Elfsight widget Templates) If you find my answer useful, let's leave a like or upvote so others with the same issue can find their solution.

Found the code for geolocation on google maps platform, just need to find out how to implement it in a way that plays nicely with squarespace. Everything I've tried so far doesn't work. Thanks anyway, you've got me one step closer! Link to comment
iansargent Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 Quick bump on this as I've hit a bit of a dead end. Anyone had success getting this working in a squarespace site? Link to comment
