Save maps gps into separate meta fields

    Would it be possible to save MAPS GPS coordinates into separate meta fields? I would use a special SQL query on these fields but it requires separate LAT and LNG meta fields.
    Could it be solved somehow probably with built in actions?

    thanks

    Currently it’s not possible.

    I’d suggest you create a new field which inherits from map, but save LAT and LNG into 2 more fields. I wrote a documetation for creating a custom field, please take a look.

    To do what you want, I think all you need is just add save method, like this:

    function save( $new, $old, $post_id, $field )
{
    parent::save( $new, $old, $post_id, $field );

    list( $lat, $lng, $zoom ) = explode( ',', $new . ',' );
    add_post_meta( $post_id, $field['id'] . '_lat', $lat );
    add_post_meta( $post_id, $field['id'] . '_lng', $lng );
}

    It will save LAT, LNG in 2 custom fields: $field['id'] . '_lat' and $field['id'] . '_lng'.
