How to set the location of a property on the map

If the pin is not placed on the map for a property, the map will show a default location in center of global maps.

Pin can be placed in 3 ways:

1. With the Place PIN with Address

You can choose between algolia and google places.

Agolia

If choose algolia for places must setup Algolia App Id and Algolia API Key. Help: https://help.wprentals.org/article/how-use-algolia-places/

Help for location options in front end submit: https://help.wprentals.org/article/location-options-in-submit-listing-form/

When use algolia listing coordinates – latitude and longitude – are automatically filled in when type the address. You don’t have place pin button.

Google places

If choose google places must add API KEY for google map.
