Stewart Polley: Thanks! How do we access this?

Stewart Polley: This will be really helpful, thanks!
Would it be possible to add People Categories to the filtering options?
Stewart Polley
Matt Miller: The filter options will mirror the filter options in the People BETA area.
Stewart Polley
Joey Green: Shouldn't take too long - but if you're finding issues please email support.
M
Matt Miller
Stewart Polley: Thanks. Are there plans to add People Categories to those filter options at some stage? Or alternatively, add the View options from the People BETA to the map locator as that's where the People Categories are currently located?
Stewart Polley
Matt Miller: If you raise a feature request for them, we may do.

Do you plan to make thais also available in the member section?
Currently our normal members have no access to the "people" admin area.

Stewart Polley: Just a small feature request: make map center at the church's main address. It is xonfusinf for us European congregation to find oneself in the USA when starting the map.
Stewart Polley
Ralf Eichler:
No plans yet for member area map - Just for admins for now. Again though, feel free to submit a feature request for member area if it's needed.
Regarding centering the map, we center it on the address of the logged in user if we can, the church if we can't get the logged in user, or the Gold Coast Australia if we can't get either. So if it's appearing in the USA, that would be worth contacting support about.

Ralf Eichler
Stewart Polley: I had it centered on Gold cost on first launch despite having a German address
Stewart Polley
Ralf Eichler: If you feel that's incorrect, please contact support.

Merged in a post:
Extend mapping function

Ralf Eichler
Right now you can cick on "map" in a person's profile to see a google map where he/she lives.
I'd like to request an update of this function so that you do not see just this one person, but all other church members living around him/her (in fact: see all church members' addresses on a scrollable and zoomable map.
We are in the process of moving to Elvanto, and we do have such a ap in our old tool, here is a screenshot:
If you zoom in, the blobs with the numbers become individual markers, if you click one, ou see name, address, phone and email.
Especially for our diaconic department this is a great help: if a church meber needs help, it is very easy to see who lives nearest and can help the easiest.

Hi All.
Just letting you all know that we started progress on this today.

Our IT guy has developed such a function (running on our own Linux server and authenticating via Elvanto, so that only persons with Elbanto account can view it). We are in the process of making this module publicly available.

Any news for this request?
Stewart Polley
Ralf Eichler: Hi there.
Thanks for reaching out!
When we have news we will update the task accordingly.
Cheers!

This would be a great feature to have, and not so difficult to achieve, since all information is already present. We worked on a similar system like Elvanto which had this feature as one of the most used ones. We had the possibility to filter the map by family, as well as other criteria (male, female, singles, married, age ... etc.)
We would love to see this in Elvanto also.
