  1. For stores view by end user, add StoreLocation view portlet on a specific page.

You should add Google API Key & check Enable Search Filter from the configuration of portlet. We have used Google API to get the location of the stores in the map. For Enable Search Filter option if you mark as a ticked then filter search option will be visible in the UI and it won’t be visible for vice versa case.

With the help of GeoDistanceFilter class, we are able to search stores around the location of current user. We need to select distance unit either Mile or Kilometer and add the distance within which list of stores should appear. After that we will get the list of stores in the radius of current user's location. By default it will display all the stores.
