Configuring initial map position and automatic geolocation

Understanding Initial Map Position

The initial map position dictates where the map centers and how it zooms upon loading. You have two primary options to consider:

1. Fit All Locations:

   • This option zooms the map out to encompass all active locations, ensuring users get a comprehensive view of your store distribution. Ideal for businesses with widespread coverage.

2. Focus on a Selected View:

   • Tailor the map's initial view to showcase a specific area or region, providing users with a targeted perspective relevant to your business objectives.

     • After selecting this option you will see a map.

     • Move and zoom the map to your desired initial position.

Leveraging Initial Automatic Geolocation

Automatic geolocation enhances user experience by attempting to locate users on the map upon page load. Here's how it works:

• Initial Automatic Geolocation:

  • Enable this feature to automatically attempt to locate users on the map initially, showing nearby store locations.

  • If the user's location isn't identified, the map defaults to the selected initial map position, ensuring continuity and user engagement regardless of geolocation success.
