Store locator

Help users find the nearest branch with search, geocoding and distance-aware results.

What you’ll achieve

Geocode the user or use consented GPS, filter your store dataset, rank candidates by distance or travel time, then fit the map to visible results.

Recommended flow

Geocode the user or use consented GPS, filter your store dataset, rank candidates by distance or travel time, then fit the map to visible results.

Ship the first useful version

Start with one happy path, explicit loading and empty states, and a visible retry action. Add caching, analytics and advanced filtering only after the core result is reliable.

Production checklist

Restrict the API key, validate user input, preserve longitude/latitude order, handle zero results, test Thai and English labels, and keep MapScale attribution visible.
