Yes this is the one that the plugin cares about.
The others are important too. Perhaps hide the Location one with CSS? Not a great idea to hide Timezone or Region?
If you want to add functionality to the plugin to determine the others from the Map Location you are welcome to PR.
Alternative you can contact me privately to hire me or Marketplace
Yeah, nice as an option. Prepare a PR and I will review it.

Currently running discourse 3.4.0.beta3-dev (032b1f871b) and Iām getting an error when trying to change the location provider:
Some HTTP/500 errors are being caught in the browser console too.
Iāve been using nominatim for years now, but itās not worked very well (if at all) lately so I thought Iād try a different provider.
It would appear that I canāt 
Did you follow the instructions and enter your provider key first?
Before these are saved code is run to initialise the new provider.
Thanks Robert, I did, but I naively hadnāt realised that every provider in the list would need an key 
Hopefully Nominatim will sort themselves out soon 
Just so you know:
I fixed the locations search form, so a search does not cause your criteria to be deleted 
Should be a much more pleasant experience searching now!
(cleanup: remove commented code Ā· paviliondev/discourse-locations@0153eab Ā· GitHub)
thanks for @jrgongās report and for being patient.
this is a free, presently unmonetized plugin, so itās tough to justify a lot of work on it.
Hello 
Iāve noticed a console error when composer opens or closes. I donāt think it causes any issue. 
Thanks for your work Robert! We really appreciate it 
Thanks. Iāll take a look
Ah, might this explain / fix what I thought was a Nominatim issue?
thanks for the 
that should be resolved as of:
Could be, and Iāve also surfaced errors to the UI which might help
Iāve just discovered and installed the plugin as I have a perfect use case for it in one of our sub-categories (āPlaces to Goā). Iāve retrospectively gone back over about 20 topics and added a geo-location with the plug-in. Itās working fine with the mini-map but when I view the category map I only see six pins.
Iām running Discourse 3.4.0.beta4-dev ( d1b3b85584 ) and Iām using the default provider (nominatim).
I havenāt found anything to point me in the right direction in this topic yet but I may have missied something - itās quite long. Could it be related to the number of requests being sent to nominatim? Iām still getting to grips with the way the plug-in works and continuing to try and figure it out in the meantime. I plan to look at the benefits of other, paid, providers and whatever else I can think of to tease out some hints or an actual solution.
Thanks for any advice and thanks for sterling work maintaining the Locations plug-in, @merefield.
Oh, and Happy New Year (just under an hour away here) 
Are you seeing six individual markers or six clusters?
Check the plugin settings near the bottom at
/admin/site_settings/category/plugins?filter=plugin%3Adiscourse-locations
Marker clustering is enabled, if thatās what you meant. This is what it looks like by default. It all works as it should, except I canāt get it to display more than 6 markers
Update: A member added two new entries today and both the markers show in the map.
Try increasing location_map_max_topics ā¦
(and please confirm if this happens on unfiltered Latest map as well as in the Latest Category map)
Iād already increased that to 200 from the default (100) as part of the experimentation but it doesnāt move the needle for this issue. I tried it at 1000 but still no change. If that were the issue Iād expect any new topics to be excluded from the map.
I may be
Iām not sure Iām understanding this clearly. The category map is enabled on a sub-category so the map option only shows with filters that limit the topics to that criteria. There are no additional tag filters applied.
This is the page. I shouldnāt linked to it before:
Try the Topic map on top level. You may need to enable it (location_topic_map)
This might be a bug.
I donāt have time to investigate it right now for free.
If you want to hire someone to do a deep dive suggest Marketplace and Iāll review any PR.
Still the same.
As always with these things Iām looking for clues and patterns. I thought it might be something to do with the age of the topics but that doesnāt appear to be the case as there are map markers missing between the oldest and newest entries.
Thanks for the help. Weāre a small, non-profit forum but Iāll have a look at the cost of hiring someone to investigate.
Edit: I just editied a topic someone created today to add the loacation and the marker wasnāt created. I recreated the post, added the geolocation and changed the ownership. The marker appears. So it seems to be related to updating existing posts that arenāt being recognised.
