Conclusion

This tutorial has covered in depth how to build simple "find my nearest" functionality in the form of a store locator using the Map Location Field in Symphony 2.

We have seen how to install the Map Location Field, how to use its drag/drop and geocoding functionality, how to use data source filtering to search by radius, and how to interact with this data source from a page.

I hope it's given you a good idea about the possibilities now available to you, and how you can use this functionality in your own websites.
