Hi,

I require some help. Ive got Pro Maps to display markers from addresses in a database.

Ive created a dynamic drop down parent list from the same database which populates all the car dealer names who have signed up.

What I want to do is when someone selects a car dealer name from the Parent list, Pro Maps shows only that marker and any other dealer within a radius of 5 miles from the dealer selected. Can this be done.

Please help. Thx

No, Pro maps does not have support for radius searches.

Alright. But what about just selecting a car dealer from the dynamic dropdown and then googlemap only shows the marker for whats selected. Is this possible? Thx

yes, you could filter the recordset used by pro maps on the dynamic drop down select by setting the filtering options in the recordset dialog box.

So how do I make the dynamic dropdown target the pro maps? As i dont really understand.

Your map should be configured to use a recordset.


The reocrdset should be configured to filter the appropriate column on the Dynamic Dropdowns form elements.
