How to Install and use the Events Map addon
Last Updated: September 22, 2023
The Events Map addon is a perfect fit for site owners that prefer to display the Geolocation of all scheduled events on a single map. This feature provides an interactive map canvas where users can click to view event details in an info window.
With custom map markers and info windows, the Map addon will help showcase all your events on one map. If you have a multitude of map markers for one location, you can create a cluster to display a neatly organized map. In addition, the map will auto-pan to events for a user-friendly experience.
