GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 748304
search results should be shown on the map
Last modified: 2018-03-26 12:45:52 UTC
When I search something, e.g., "restaurant, grenoble", a dropdown list with the restaurants in Grenoble appears. If I click one entry, I see the corresponding location of the selected restaurant on the map. But I would like to see all the listed restaurant on the map to choose one of them. Is it currently not possible? If so, is there any plan to implement such a crucial feature?
Solving the use case of "I want to see all restaurants in this area" would be nice. Ideally we would have search-suggestions-as-you-type (currently impossible due to external factors) and just hitting enter on such a broad term could then just work. However, it would also need a bunch of logic for figuring out that you meant just that. For example, if I were to search for "New York", using that logic, it would show me not only New York City in the state of New York, but would need to display a world map with also the one in Iowa, the one in Florida, the one in Philipphines etc. etc. It's possible to just go for the "right new york" by weighting in the size of the city vs. location and possibly some other factors.
I still think the approach we designed together with a POI overlay solves this use case in the best way. You'd just search / pan to the place you're looking for and there you see a bunch of restaurants on the map close to where you want to eat. Here's the designs: https://raw.github.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups/020b66b292801ae281c54cb71b11d2eea8536edf/maps/v2/markers-and-bubbles.png
How about moving to a sidebar on the left for search-results? So we could show stuff on the map without it being covered by our search-popover?
I think it would be best to keep it in the middle to keep consistency with most other apps, but I can sketch it out and see how it looks.

I want to work on this feature can you please guide me on how to implement this. Ideally, we could list restaurants which lie in 40-50km radius.
No idea how or what service to use and this bug might be wrong place. What did you want to implement? You can try to get designer input on what we want and the investigate possible solutions. This is 3.22 material. 3.20 is in beta so this is low prio atm.
