Manual Data Source

If you don't have a CMS Collection, you can type your map points directly into the property panel. This guide walks through adding points, adding fields, and connecting those fields to markers and popups.

1. Switch to Manual

Set Source (top of the property panel) to Manual.

2. Add points

Open Data → Points and add one entry per location. Each point needs:

• Latitude

• Longitude

3. Add fields to a point

Each point has its own Fields list - this is your data for that point (a name, a price, a photo, whatever you need). For each field, set:

• Type - Text, Rich Text, Number, Image, Color, Link, or Boolean.

• Name - the field's name. This must be typed exactly the same, every time you refer to this field elsewhere (marker label, hover popup, popup mapping) - it's not a dropdown, so a typo or different capitalization means it won't be found.

• Value - the actual content, in the format matching the Type you picked.

You can add as many fields as a point needs, and different points can have different fields.

Switching a field's Type keeps whatever you already typed for the old type, so you won't lose your value if you change your mind.

4. Show a field on the marker

Go to Elements → Marker, set Type to Label, then set Field to the field's Name (e.g. Price). Add Prefix/Suffix if needed (e.g. $ / /night).

5. Show a field on hover

Go to Elements → Marker Hover Popup, turn it on, and set Field to the field's Name.

6. Show fields in a popup

1. Go to Elements → Marker Popup and turn it on.

2. Connect your popup design to the Marker popup slot that appears.

3. Any field Name that exactly matches a property on your popup component fills in automatically - no extra setup needed.

4. If you want to rename a field for the popup (e.g. your field is named Title but the popup component expects heading), add a row under Field Mappings: set Field to your field's name, and Popup Variable to the popup component's property name.

See Marker Popup for more on popup setup.

Standalone popups (not tied to points)

If you want a popup pinned to a location that isn't one of your data points (like a landmark label), use Standalone Popup instead - it doesn't use fields or points at all.
