Quick Map Feature?

[tobiwollender]

Sometimes I'm in need for a "quick map" - just a map with one address. In this case, the normal process with creating a plugin, a sysfolder and an address record is very time consuming (and "complex" for an editor). It would be nice, to have a special "quick map" plugin, where I could just add one address in the plugin directly. No extra steps for a sysfolder or a address plugin needed.

Hello @twllndr

thank you for your feature request.
We need the StorageFolder because of the hidden table tx_maps2_domain_model_poi which contains all these POIs for map type "Route" and "Area".
If we implement your Feature you only have the possibility to use map type "Point"...nothing more.
What should happen, if Google found 2 or more possible POIs for your given address? Just take the first one?

Nice greetings

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

in our case we would e. g. need it on a simple contact page, for showing the company position. So "Point" would be exactly what we need here. We never have any other requirements in this scenario. The iFrame embed from google maps itself (as an alternative) would be a bad option here, as google sometimes displays the competition in the embed version :)

To your 2 POI question: would be cool, if we could manually move the POI icon after initial positioning.

I would like to do the following in the backend:

• Add "quick maps" plugin on a page
• Enter address for first positioning of the POI (in the backend)
• Manually drag the icon to the correct place (if needed)
• Enter the content for the info window (independent from the positioning address)
• maybe add an image (optional)
• save it and have a map with poi and info window in the frontend

Cheers,
Tobi
