    hi, We are facing the following issues:

    1. We would like to display the USA map fully on the home page unless a user confirms use of their current location.
    2. We have added text field for event date for advanced search. We would like to add a calendar field instead so that the user can click on the dates to search for events.

    Please take a look at http://www.yardandestatesales.com/

    Thanks

    Hi Roger

    1. I think that is possible by adding a default location in the center of the US, and then setting the home page map widget to the right zoom level and not autozoom.
    Then choose the first option at GD > multilocation > location settings > home page results.
    The zoom level will affect all your other location pages though.

    2. A calendar widget can be used if you use the Events add-on. That is probably a better option?

    I’ll get Stiofan to consider the first question too, though.

    Hi Roger, will your site just be for the USA?

    Thank you Guust.
    1. We have followed your suggestions and the map of USA is displayed on the home page with the correct zoom. But as you had mentioned, even a search for listings in a particular city displays in the full map because of the zoom issue. Is there any solution for this?
    2. Yes, we are using the Events add-on. Could you please explain how we can use the Calendar widget for the advanced search?
    3. On listing page map view, a user can get directions to the place using the Get Directions button. If a user wants to go to multiple sales and wants to plan a route, is there a way to do it? Could you recommend any module which can be used for this?

    Thanks

    Yes, we will be using the site for just the USA at this time. We might add the provision for other countries later.

    Thanks

    1. If you only use one country, then set Multilocations to default country only, and set the map to autozoom. If you then have one listing at either end of the country, mission accomplished.
    [I saw you had more than one country in your database]

    2. I was suggesting to use the calendar widget instead of the search. Your visitors will be able to choose any date, simply, from every page where you have the widget.
    Visit my (very rough) test site to see it in action: http://goldroo.net/

    3. Not possible with GD. Would be very surprised if there is any plugin that will do that. Only way to achieve that is to go to Google maps directly and plot your route there.
    Or go from one listing to the other and enter the address of the last listing as your starting point.
