Searchable Map Template with Google Fusion Tables
Put your data on a searchable, filterable map
This template no longer works Google shut down Fusion Tables on Dec 3rd, 2019.
However, I have since created two new mapping templates that do work based on this one:
- Searchable Map Template - Turf - For smaller datasets. Does everything in the browser and is free.
- Searchable Map Template - Carto - For large datasets. Requires a CARTO account (which you'll likely have to pay for).
Features
- clean, full-screen layout
- mobile- and tablet-friendly using responsive design
- address search (with variable radius)
- geolocation ("find me")
- RESTful URLs for sharing searches
- results count (using Google's Fusion Tables API)
- ability to easily add additional search filters (checkboxes, sliders, etc.)
- all done with HTML, CSS and Javascript - no server-side code required
