Geolocation demo

Data used for this Sydney Harbour Bridge demo is taken from the Google Maps Platform.

Geolocation allows your users to search places stored in your own database tables. The plugin queries Google Maps API once for each location and stores the location information in your own database tables. The users position or a fixed position can be used to search within a range. An interactive map allows your users to change the range from a dropdown list. Geolocation is a premium feature.
