All options related to the Map Search is located under this tab:
- Result Limit
-
The maximum number of results to display in the result list. In order to increase the performance and improve the speed Ideal Directory groups the markers into clusters in the back-end, also known as server-side cluster, which allows to display thousands of markers at the same time. If you expect your users to have a slow Internet connection you can set the Result limit to 1000 results of less. If set to 1000, it will display the 1000 listings closest to the user's location.

Whether to display a Geolocate button, auto geolocate OR both. Google Maps API Standard Plan has a 2,500 requests per day limit. If you expect to have more than 2500 requests per day we recommend to either use the Google Maps API Pay-as-you-go plan, disable this feature or at least set to Show only.
Important Starting with Chrome 50 (April 20, 2016), Chrome no longer supports obtaining the user’s location using the HTML5 Geolocation API from pages delivered by non-secure connections. This means that the page that’s making the Geolocation API call must be served from a secure context such as HTTPS.
