How Does it Work?
⚒️ Our Store Locator Map is powered by data from Google Sheets. So first, you have to install a Google Sheets Addon
🏙️ Then you create a Google sheet and add your store addresses starting from street name, city, country with other details like phone number, email address and store specific information.
🗺️ Once the data is filled, you will run the Google Sheets Addon to generate a Store Locator Link.
✂️ 📋 Copy-Paste the link inside this WordPress plugin and set the path to the page where you want to embed the Store Locator.
That’s all! Store addresses are converted to map coordinates inside Google sheet (longitudes and latitudes). Geo-mapping is done in seconds. If Google sheet doesn’t recognize a store location, you can add the coordinates directly under the “Coordinates” column in the Google Sheet. Store locator works on all mobile devices, tablets and desktops. It’s a 100% responsive and mobile-friendly map.
The co-ordinates in the Google sheet are shown on the map generated by Mapbox. (You don’t have to bother about the hassle of working with Google Maps Platform, or using Google Map API keys or even with Open Street Map with our WordPress plugin). We take care of plotting the points on the map with markers. Map zoom in and map zoom out is available with Mapbox and it moves from marker to marker swiftly.
A search field is added to the map. Users can search on the store locator map by location, ZIP or PIN. They can also search for locations near them with a single click. All stores are listed on the side of the map.

Why is Update Map on Google sheet taking time?
-

-
Why does the Co-ordinate column in Google sheet show a red cell?
-
The co-ordinates are generated based on the information provided in the Google sheet. When there is insufficient data to find the latitude and longitude, the sheet shows a red cell. You can insert this information directly into the cell to solve this matter.

I changed my store address, but the location on the map doesn’t change?
-
Just delete the co-ordinate information of that store in Google sheet and click on Add-on menu > Update map from the sheet. The map will get automatically updated.
-
Why can’t I add the “+” symbol for phone numbers?
-
When adding phone numbers in international format inside Google sheet, ‘+’ in the beginning is treated as a formula. To show a number as +1 555666000, please enter this data as =”+1 55566600 under the Mobile number column. This will format the number in the international format.
-
You may add more columns in the Google sheet and specify these new columns under the Add-on menu > Settings > Edit fields.
