Just create some locations with the admin interface by positioning a marker on a map, add a location name and description and timetables (one-off date or regular day of week, start time and end time). Your customers will see a map with your week locations, and depending when they visit your website, the current location (pulsing marker) or next location will pop up on the map, showing immediately where you are now or next time. They will be able to select a day they want to directly move the map to the right location of the chosen day. **Features** – Create locations of your food truck and add one-off dates or regular days of the week and hours you are in – Map marker color customization – Vacation mode: activate and set a message to inform your customers that you are on vacation( the map will be darkened and the message will be overlayed on the map) – Map directly informs visitors where you are now, depending on the browser local time, or your next location – Hide quickly a location or a day/time with a visible property Maps are rendered with the Leaflet library. Source code is available at https:// github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet. **Translations** Currently English and French are supported. Translators are welcome. ## Screenshots [⌊Generated map with current location with a pulsing marker⌉⌊Generated map with current location with a pulsing marker⌉[ Generated map with current location with a pulsing marker [⌊Vacation mode⌉⌊Vacation mode⌉[ Vacation mode [⌊Admin creation of location⌉⌊Admin creation of location⌉[ Admin creation of location [⌊Day list mode⌉⌊Day list mode⌉[ Day list mode ## Installation In your wp-admin page, just click on \”add new\” and search for \”Food Truck Locator\”.

Sometimes the locator icon doesn’t show up so you can drag it to find the coordinates. I have couple suggestions though. 1. I suggest using the address instead of the manual moving of the locator to find the coordinates. 2. Food trucks are not stationary. We move from day-to-day and often attend two events per day. For each location, there should be an option to add date and start/end time. Phone number (text/call to place pre-order). 3. Food trucks booked their schedules month ahead. It would be a useful feature to have a calendar like navigation where user can pick a date and see all of the locations for that date so they can plan their visits.
