5.1 Map View

Last updated 9 months ago


The map view displays posts on a map - particularly posts that have location information.


Posts and the map area of the map view:

  • Each post appears as an icon (i.e. a marker/pointer) on the map. In the event that you opted to combine nearby posts on your Map settings page ( of this manual), posts adjacent to each other on the map will cluster together, displaying a number denoting number of posts combined.

  • Clicking on each individual post displays a small pop-up box with the post title and description.

  • You should also be able to zoom in and out of the map as desired.


Sidebar and Toolbar: See the page below for some more map view related information when it comes to managing data on your deployment through the sidebar and toolbar.
