Roll over any state to see the total search count. Click any state to filter the Dashboard and display search data specific to the selected state.

Search by City Name or ZIP Code
Users can now search using their geolocation, ZIP code, or city name. The autocomplete dropdown makes searching faster and ensures location name accuracy.
Customize Map Styling With Mapbox Maps
Use Mapbox studio to develop a custom map style.
Display The Product List on the Initial Screen
You can now display the product list on the initial screen. Users are still required to enter a search location before selecting a product. On mobile, the product list will replace the background image.
Control Background Image Tint
You can now control the color and opacity of the tint applied to the background image.
Control the Background Color of Input Fields
You can now set the background color for the user location field and the product search bar to better coordinate with the backgroundColor and resultBackgroundColor.
Activate Automatic User Location Detection
You can now configure the locator to automatically request permission to access the user’s location. Users can still click the “use my location” target icon if this feature is disabled. Google Chrome requires websites to have valid SSL certificates for this feature to work.
Add A ‘Buy Online’ Button
When a user searches for a product in an area where it’s not available, you can now display a button with additional purchase options like “Buy Online.” The name of the button and the URL are customizable. This can be used with or without the “Notify Me” button. Learn more here.
Enable Persistent ‘Order Delivery’ buttons
The Order Delivery buttons are now persistent on the desktop version of the locator. Mobile users will only see the buttons on the initial screen given the limited space available.
