Here you will find ready options to add listing address, details, location and rating as well. The location map will ask you to provide Longitude and Latitude coordinates.
The theme uses given coordinates to add a pin on the map to highlight listings. You can also drag and drop the pin on location to automatically detect coordinates, or visit other websites to generate Longitude and Latitude. So when visitors browse your listings then they will see interactive map for each listings highlighted in your site.

For e.g. Location, Listing Type, Rating etc. Once you define preference on filter module then it will automatically find and display those listings that falls in your preference.

Because it can boost value of your listings when you allow users to submit rating based on their experience. The theme shows comment box with rating option so user can express their views and rating.

This theme has been integrated with other basic features like back-end options panel, portfolio template, blog template, widgets, short-codes and more. Hence, you can use it as listing portal, blog listing site or any other purpose. We liked the fast loading speed and smooth zoom-in and zoom out effect of maps listing board.
