Maps and Zapier

[Rui_Almeida]

Hi, i´m trying to see if webflow is the best solution for my website.

I want to build a “city guide style” for my country, so far Webflow CMS is more than capable for the task, but… i´m missing a VERY IMPORTANT feature, MAPS.

Check out AirBnb example, https://www.airbnb.com/s/Lisbon--Portugal?adults=1&checkin=02%2F23%2F2017&checkout=03%2F28%2F2017&children=0&guests=1&infants=0&place_id=ChIJO_PkYRozGQ0R0DaQ5L3rAAQ&source=bb&ss_id=ssubrr7o&page=1&s_tag=rVbHdty6&allow_override[]=

Every “Place” has a geo position, and that´s easy with webflow, the problem is showing a map with all the places from Webflow Database.

I know that webflow cannot make this. My question is, with the new API and ZAPIER, is there a way/fix/plugin/whatever i can do this?

Tks
Rui

You should be able to do this custom JS instead of using Webflow map…I think

@AlexN has an excellent write up of how to do with with Dynamic Embeds and Dynamic Google Maps in this post below:

Dynamic Google Maps

With the release of the new Dynamics Embed widget on Webflow many new functions are now available through the CMS. So what are some of the new things we can do? How about dynamic google maps! We can now use Google maps to show locations of collection items or even directions from point A to Point B . Lets run through a quick example on how to set this up. ##Property Listings I will be using the Webflow CMS to tell Google how to generate the map so that my visitors can see where my propertie…

Note, this won’t give you the ability to dynamically plot points on the map, but you could achieve similar results.

It´s a good solution to show one item on the map, but i need to show lot´s a spots on a map.

@brryant Sorry if this my seems stupid, but can i use the API to get this?
For example, i have a html that shows all the restaurants and i put a google maps embed.
Inside i use JS and the API to get all the geo positions for all restaurants and show all of them in one map?

I´m not a developer, sorry if i´m saying something stupid

Definitely possible, however you will need a lot of custom JS…
