    Is it possible to set up a “near me” search button that functions similarly to the compass icon?

    Currently, when I click on the compass icon, and tick “near me” and then click search, it runs a geo-located search. I like the results, but think that the process has too many steps.

    If I use the near me button widget, a button click redirects to the location/me page.

    I prefer the compass icon behavior, which shows a search results page rather than a location/me page, but would like a one click button option.

    Any way I can set that up?

    The location/me and search result pages without any other search parameters should return the same listings, but indeed on a different on a different type page.
    The search will be limited to one CPT only, the location/me page will have all CPTs.

    You could use another GD > Search widget or shortcode and hide the other search options with CSS.

    Anything else would require a customisation.

    Thanks

    That’s a good idea to isolate the compass icon with CSS. But is it possible to set it up so that it runs a search on click without it first opening up the dialog with the “near me” box and distance slider?

    I doubt that is possible without customisation.
    I’ll get a developer to have a look at your question in case there is a simple solution.
