I have a problem with google maps, I register my business on google and want to add location, after adding by following google's instruction (add missing place) I can see the building just after searching by name. Desire result is to see the building without search by concrete name.

I am currently trying to use "listingpro" theme which is a listing directory. There is a search function which cities can be used to search for listings within a chosen radius. The admin has to put in the cities for each of the listings and the search results will appear on the map using google maps api.
However, using zipcodes for search options is not an option. I am wondering if there is some way in which I can add searching by zip code feature so when a user types in their zip code the listings within the designated radius will appear on the search page and on the map. Or if there is a tutorial somewhere on how to do this? This is a bit over my head and I am not sure if this is possible with this theme without doing a ton of customizing.
Thank a lot for your input!
According to this page, this is possible with the Google Places API. I assume the theme uses Google Maps API as default, so switching out or adding the the GPAPI would require a fair amount of customization.
Our website is trying to integrate with both Google Maps and What3words. I need to build an UI display a map with.
A marker on the map, and a search box.
When dragging marker, can retrieve the corresponding 3 words based on its geo coordinate.
When typing into the searchbox, can retrieve the three word based on auto complete result from Google.
Actually it should look like below picture.
What I have archived so far is getting the source code from What3words-map-marker that support What3words API v1 already. But now all the API from What3words has migrated to API v2.
May I check If there are any release from What3words that support wrapper it with Google Maps and API v2?
I'm not sure I follow your question exactly but my company also has just recently implemented something might be the same with your requirement.
Please check this Github page for more detail. Image as below.
Objective
Client wants a map on the search results page that shows a Google Map with all business listings, matching the users search parameters, that are near that user.
Background
I have a client who is building a business directory website.
This client is currently using a WordPress plugin called GeoDirectory and would like to have a map on the search results page that shows a Google Map with all business listings, matching the users search parameters, that are near that user.
These would not be the businesses on the website they would be the businesses that you would get if you did a search on Google say "restaurants near me" and it would show those businesses.
The client wants it to look exactly like the google map that results from that search so it would take the query created by the GeoDirectory plugin and show a list of businesses from the clients site that match a specific category and also a google map of other businesses in the area that are listed on Google.
Question
Is this possible?
I don't really have a link to show an example but if you type in "restaurants near me" in the google search bar and click on the map that pops up in the search results you will see what I mean.
Is it possible?
I don't know WordPress, but coming from a Google Maps background, I can definitely tell you that yes, it is possible.
What can I use?
Depending where you make your request from, you can either use the Places API Web Service (server side) or the JavaScript API with the Places Library (for client side).
For more information about the Places API and related products you can visit https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/
How can the Places API help me?
The Places API Web Service and its library for the JavaScript API have a functionality that you can use called PlacesSearch, which is exactly what you need.
Examples and Docs
To use this functionality, lets say, using the Web API, you need to make a GET request like the following:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/output?parameters
Using the JavaScript API, you would send a request like this:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/places#place_search_requests
With this information, you can include a map, and quickly get the information you need by having the user type in a text box.
The example below demonstrates how this concept works

I'm working on a Wordpress website for a friend and want to put a calendar on a page that when the mouse scrolls over a country for the country to light up and display some information as well as give the user some options to download a pdf about that country.
See http://us.fulbrightonline.org/countries/selectedregion/23 to get an idea of what I mean.
Just need to get a sense of what technologies and tools are needed to make something like this work. I know I will need to utilize an API but the hovering and attaching a pdf to each country is new to me.
You could try to use the Google Geochart API for your problem. It allows to create interactive maps and to capture click events. It also allows to color countries individually and to display tooltips. You can find more information and examples here: https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/geochart
I created a plugin for WordPress that uses this API. It integrates all the needed scripts and allows to build a map from the admin panel. You can find more information here:

I have not been able to find clear answers to the following:
for a client with several country sites (subdomains) I want to use a Google Analytics account per site, plus a roll-up account to collect data of all country sites into one account. I want to use Google Tag Manager to add the analytics to the sites.
To add 2 Universal Analytics tracking IDs in one container for a site, is it needed to change a name somewhere? As you have to do when adding analytics code manually to a site when using an extra roll-up account.
If so, what exactly?
subsequently I want to use autoevent tracking. To track for instance PDF downloads - which are in this case on outbound links. Which is explained in this Justine Cutroni post: http://cutroni.com/blog/2013/10/07/auto-event-tracking-with-google-tag-manager/
But instead of using the standard macro for url path, I would rather see the url title or the linktext, as the url path is indecipherable in this case (a bunch of numbers and letters).
How can that be achieved? Given that the downloads are from dynamic catalogue pages (and thousands of them).
thanks
Why multiple accounts ? This would just work as well with profiles/views. That could potentially save you a bit of headache (if you have multiple trackers you need to push events etc. to all of them - for multiple view you just need a filter in your view settings).
Having said that, you find the settings for the tracker name under "advanced configuration" in the analytics tag template in the Google Tag Manager (both for ga.js and Universal Analytics). Tick the checkbox with the label "Tracker name" and enter the name (you need to rename at least one the trackers).
