Search & Display Settings
Configure search behavior, map display, and geolocation
Distance Units
Choose between Miles and Kilometers for displaying distances in search results. This applies to both the distance shown next to each location and the search radius dropdown.
Default Map View
Configure what customers see when they first load the store locator:
- Empty map - Customers must search to see locations
- Geolocate nearby stores - Automatically detect the customer's location and show nearby stores
- Display all stores - Show every location on the map
When set to Geolocate, the browser will ask the customer for permission to access their location. This is a standard browser prompt — the store locator does not control its appearance or wording.
If the customer allows location access, the map centers on their position and shows nearby stores. If the customer denies permission or their browser does not support geolocation, the map falls back to showing all locations.
Geolocation Display Mode
When using the Geolocate option, you can choose how many stores to show:
- Automatic - Adjusts based on store density in the customer's area
- 5, 10, 20, or 50 closest stores - Shows a fixed number of nearest locations
Default Search Radius
Set the starting search radius when customers search for locations. Options range from 5 to 1000, or Unlimited to show all locations regardless of distance.
A larger radius works better if your locations are spread far apart. A smaller radius is better for dense coverage areas.
Map Marker Clustering
When customers zoom out on the map, nearby markers can be grouped into clusters to keep the view clean:
- Cluster nearby markers (recommended) - Groups overlapping markers with a count badge
- Always show individual markers - Every location pin is always visible
Location Priority
Give locations a priority value (set per location, or in bulk via CSV import) to control their order in search results:
- By distance - Priority only breaks ties between locations that are equally close (the default)
- Featured first - Higher-priority locations are pinned to the top of results, ahead of closer ones
Location priority is available on Advanced plans and above.
Driving Directions
When enabled, each location popup includes a "Get Directions" link. Customers are taken to Google Maps or Apple Maps depending on their device.
Driving directions are available on Basic plans and above.
