Absolutely, We don’t currently support searching with latitude and longitude, but that’s not to say we couldn’t make that happen. We do however already support the ability to search by many other location details such as the location, area, city, state, country and postal code fields.

The VRPConnector is deeply integrated with Escapia and ISILink and adds quite a bit of functionality on top of those two property management systems.

As for the Mapping functionality, http://www.lifestylevillas.net and http://www.beachrentals.mobi offer examples of how they have used google maps to pin results.

Here’s some links directly to their search result pages.

The beach rentals site is very similar to the default theme that comes with the VRPConnector as far as the map is concerned. That functionality is present right out of the box.

I have addressed a few issues as of late with the check availability functionality on the unit pages. You’ll now see error messages for different reasons if the rate cannot be generated properly. In many cases the property manager has not configured rates as far as next year in the future which was previously causing the rate calculation and availability check to fail. Now you will appropriate see errors explaining the situation.

I’ve also added a rate breakdown to the response in the default theme. You’ll want to revert to using the built in theme to get the latest features that show the rate breakdown in the response rather than just seeing the single total line item.

This issue is resolved in version 3.0.1 as it now will display a notification stating that the PHP version is unsupported. VRPConnector plugin requires PHP version 5.4 or higher.
