Map Search

The map search module allows you to create a location so that when users explore the map, they can find the certain location that you set, you can also add up to three action markers on the locations that will come up in the search or list. A marker is an action button that opens up a certain module, you can add your channel, group, store, booking, or event.

So let's say, for example, you own a restaurant named Billy’s, and you have a channel where you post the latest offers and promotions, you can create a location and set it to the location of your store and name it Billy’s, and when a customer searches Billy’s in the map, they will find the location of your store and an action button will be displayed to open the channel of your restaurant.
