I would like my search to reveal all people using the app appear as a pointer on the map. In real-time, using my app., when one makes a search, all who matches the criterias of the search appear on the map, anywhere in the world.

Is it possible ? Any special code ? Can each and every pointer be clickable to reveal info i.e.: Email - SMS- criterias - etc... ?

Hi Luc,

Yes, this is possible.

Tiggzi allows you to detect device location using Geolocation service (http://docs.tiggzi.com/tutorials/buil...).

Data about location can be stored in database (http://docs.tiggzi.com/documentation/...)

You can use Google Maps to show markers (https://getsatisfaction.com/tiggzi/to...).

Thanks for the prompt reply ! Talk about customer service !!!

In response to your replies, Katya, I have read and viewed all your site's docs and videos and all I can come close to is "Adding markers to a map" ... Indeed the app will use Geolocation as a service, obviously, but my question is : What if 67 people are using my app in real-time and match the criterias ? Will 67 pointers appear on the map ?

Thanks again :)
Luc

Yes, you can add multiple markers using JavaScript.
I also found this topic for you:

Thanks again, Katya,

So I must add markers equal to the amount of markers I wish to appear on the map ?
( I.e.: if at a certain point in time there is 348 people who are presently using the app and who matches someone's search criterias ... and I have only programmed 10 possible markers to appear ... only 10 pointers maximum will appear as a result, NOT the 348 ?

  • I wish the map to show ALL the matches ... if it's 348, the map will show 348 markers* !!! )

Hello! You would need to use REST services. For example, send coordinates of each user to DB and get them back. This should also help https://getsatisfaction.com/tiggzi/to...
