Just like Location Searches, Metro Publisher Event Searches can be enhanced with maps as the basis for the search. A toggling option between list and map view helps your readers quickly see where interesting events are located.
If you wish, you can set up so-called Map Zones and Quicklinks as shortcuts for your readers to narrow down the Event Search by neighborhood or district, for example.

Step 3.
In this example, the reader has selected "Durham County", which automatically narrows down the search results (list and map) to that county. The map automatically adjusts accordingly:
