The maps field allows you to display a map to the user, with a search field and a draggable pin.

Usage

The user can fill the search field, which is based on the Google Places Search Box, or drag the pin across the map to decide a location. Aeria autocompletes the address fields, but you're able to edit them as you prefer. For example, if we needed to save a location inside a skyscraper, we would need to specify the floor. The pin location is not affected by any edits of these fields.

You need to provide a Google Maps API key in the settings. You can find the page under "Settings"--> "Aeria Map Options". Make sure to activate the correct APIs on the Google Cloud Platform dashboard.

Saved fields

In addition to saving the coordinates, Aeria saves these fields:

• address is the address
• autocomplete is the text found in the places search box
• country is the country
• locality is the city
• postal_code is the ZIP code of the place
• region is the region
• route represents the street
• street_number is the street number

All of these fields, apart from autocomplete, are editable to your preference with no consequences on the coordinates.

Options

For the general option fields, check the getting started page.

Custom options

The maps field has no additional options.

Filters

You can filter the field's fetched value by calling WordPress' add_filter with the tag "aeria_get_maps".
