Manage Locations in Store Locator

Locatoraid is an easy to use location management system for WordPress that lets your users search for nearby stores, dealers, ATMs, churches and any other types of physical locations.

Add Locations

To start managing your locations, you will need to add them to the database of the locator plugin. To add a new location, simply click Locations on the main navigation menu, then click Add New Location.

You will be able to specify the location name and its address details, such as street, state, zip code, city and country. With the Custom Fields module you will also be able to include any additional data to your location detail too.

After you publish this new location, the store locator plugin will automatically geocode its address. Geocoding means that the plugin will find the physical location coordinates so it will know where to display it on the map. After successful geocoding your new location is completely ready and your customers will be able to find it online on your store locator page.

If for any reason the automatic geocoding process failed, or the geocoding result is not completely precise, you can manually enter the geo coordinates, or move the location icon to the right position on the map.

Simply click the Edit Coordinates link.

You will get to the store location coordinates edit form. You can either manually enter the latitude and longitude coordinates of the physical location, or use the mouse to move location icon to the proper place on the map. The coordinates in the form fields will be adjusted as you move the location pin on the map.

Click Save to enable the new coordinates. Or click Reset to clear the current coordinates. After you reset this data, the location management system will again try to automatically geocode this location using its address details. This option can be helpful when the previous geocoding attempt wasn't fully successfull for any reason.
