I’ve successfully set up a Google Map with multiple location markers. I’d like the option for users to be able to add their address/postcode and see their closest location but have had little success.

Has anyone else set something like this up? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think you’re looking for functionality that is not supplied by the ACF maps field. If this is something that can be done it would likely need to be done through custom coding of a google maps api interface. I have not seen any topics on anyone successfully doing what you’re looking for with ACF. When I’m looking for more complicated google maps functionality I generally go with this https://www.wpgmaps.com/purchase-professional-version/
