    is it possible to automatically update the results displayed on the map based upon the location on the map? On google you can ‘search this area’ when you search for something and move the map then it updates the results based upon the map location.

    I think the developers have looked into it, but you would need a lot of grunt on your server for your site to keep up with the changing request. I am not sure what they decided in the end though.

    Thanks

    ok, cheers. what about only updating the map per area being searched, as per mapbox?

    When you search for something, the search results cannot just change because you move the map, you need to change the search query.
    You may benefit from adding the Location Switcher in the menu: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/multilocations/#main
    Thanks
