    Hi Guys,

    OK so the website I’m setting up requires hotel listings in and around the Southampton UK area. However, as soon as I try and set a map marker outside this strict area it prevents me from doing so. I’m not moving into any other cities, just towns and villiages a little outside the main metro area. It’s only admin that will create the listings – not external users – but we need to be able to set the map pointers where we need them.

    Please advise the best solution to broaden the City radius by 15 miles or so. I don’t need to listings for any other cities.

    You will need the Location Manager addon: https://wpgeodirectory.com/downloads/location-manager/

    See more at https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/definitions/#location

    Thanks

    Are you serious? I only need to manage venues around this one city, and I’ve already spent $80 on Addons in the last 24 hours. It’s ridiculous to have to spend another $39 to map listings slightly out of area when I’m literally only focusing on one city! Surely there’s a simpler way to achieve this?

    You could try swapping to the OpenStreetMaps API, they sometimes categorize locations different than the Google Map API.

    From https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/definitions/#location

    These locations are based on the Google Maps API, and the size of cities (towns, suburbs or villages etc depending on the country) can vary greatly from country to country.

    Thanks
