How to update from Smart Map to Google Maps

Follow the instructions below to learn how to update to the new Google Maps plugin...

While the functionality remains nearly identical, the organization of these parameters has changed. The components value must now be nested inside the target array.

Internally, the target parameter is fed into the Geocoding lookup method. If you look closely at that method, you'll notice that it accepts either a string or array value. You can pass in an array of data to fine-tune the geocoding mechanism.

Assuming you are passing an array into the target option, use the address sub-parameter to specify the address string for geocoding.

{# OLD #}
{% set options = {
    'target': 'Venice',
    'components': {
        'country': 'US',
        'administrative_area': 'California',
    },
} %}

{# NEW #}
{% set options = {
    'target': {
        'address': 'Venice',
        'components': {
            'country': 'US',
            'administrative_area': 'California'
        }
    }
} %}
