The Advanced Filter Interface allows you to display a filter area next to or above your map. Visitors can filter locations based on any custom fields you have configured. This provides more detailed filtering options than Marker Categories alone.

This is a PRO feature and is available since Version 1.4.16.

Overview

The interface can include:

• Filter controls for any custom fields
• Multiple filter types (text fields, dropdowns, checkboxes, radio buttons, etc.)
• Optional custom HTML content blocks for additional information or branding

Example layout with a left sidebar:

The interface can be displayed in four positions:

Right Sidebar

Button (Floating)

Panel (Floating)

How It Works

All custom fields created under Open User Map → Form Settings → Custom Fields can be added as filters.
The plugin automatically selects a suitable input type based on the field (e.g. text, select, checkbox).

Visitors can combine multiple filters at once to refine the visible locations on the map.
