Google Maps Overlay

    Potential customers join my “Wait List” to get notified when training that is scheduled in their area. During signup, they are required to select their county of residence so that I can see where we have the greatest demand. They may even go so far as to provide a full address. Do you have any ideas how I can automate plotting the locations on Google Maps for a quick visual analysis of where the potential customers are located?

    This is certainly possible, but it does require the technical knowledge to configure a Google map with multiple locations. The easiest way to do this with Participants Database is to use a special template for the [pdb_list] shortcode that takes all the locations and plots them to the map. Adding approximate locations (for instance, just the country) makes things a bit more complicated because the map wants specific coordinates for each location.

    I don’t have any working code that demonstrates this, so I don’t have an example to offer.

    The technical details can be found in the Google Maps API, but you’ll need to be a coder to use it.

    I’m going to make this work eventually, when I actually have time to devote to the project. I’ll post the code/solution so others can benefit when I get it done.
