Hi
I tried the location plugin but can’t get it to show the map on the frontend.
All I get is the coordinates.
Is there anything else to inputting the field in the page?
<?php the_field('my_map') ?>

Thanks
Dan

Hi @danstramer

Using the_field on the location field will not create a map. Perhaps you should read over the documentation of how to use this field:

https://github.com/elliotcondon/acf-location-field/blob/master/readme.txt

Looks like it returns an array containing co-ordinates. You will need to create the google MAP JS yourself using these values.

Thanks Elliot,
I have read that guide and it doesn’t show how to actually implement the field with the map API.
I have read some more confused responses about this plugin.
Do you think you (ot the plugin author) can post a demo showing how to implement this plugin on the front-end?
Thanks
Dan

I found this documentation:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/map-simple

I’ll give it a try
