Map Conditionals add selected marker

I’d like to see in the conditionals on the map element the ability to set a condition to change a marker to be that of the “selected icon”…so that I could create a conditional that would let me match a value to highlight an icon on the map.

For example, if I have a list of retailers and I select one in a repeating group, I could use that selection to change the maps icon to the “selected icon” so the user could see where on the map that retailer from the repeating group is located.

If you use the bdk Google map plugin, you can have 5 data sources. You could use a conditional on one of them to show a different marker for a selection. You might have to temporarily remove the location from the initial marker group, but it would work well.

If you need help, let me know

Thanks for the tip. I think I looked at that plugin in the past and just reviewed it again. I messaged the plugin creator to see if it has what for me is a make or break functionality of an auto-close when another map marker is selected.

Do you know if it has the ability to do that? I really do not like the idea of map marker popups remaining opening and requiring a user to close them manually.

I know if the map markers are visible, the labels stay open. It’s ugly and should be fixed @gaurav

But if you remove the markers source, that might wipe them. You could trial the functionality if you want, it’s only$4 month prorated, so if you use it for an hour or two, it’s basically free.

Otherwise send me a pm and I’ll test it out this afternoon on my app and I’ll let you know the results.

Thank you for the offer. I ended up stumbling upon and purchasing this plugin.

It does some things that I am looking for, however not 100% sure of the ability to show the marker connected to the listing selected.

I got a reply from gaurav that the functionality to auto-close the labels is not available currently but he has thought about adding it.

An update here is that I overlooked the fact there is currently a workflow function to do just this. As read in the reference:

Here is the workflow

Only problem is that I can’t get the title window to be shown when the selected marker is changed using the workflow. Seems like a bug.
