Hi There,
I'm in the process of making a "store locator" for a site and have used a Google tutorial to do this.
All works fine but I seem to be stuck on something that I thought would be the easiest part!
At the moment, the page has a search field at the top and the map is generated at the bottom:
example here
What I'm after is to be able to have the search field on a separate page that then takes you to the map page.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Code below:
Cheers
