 * Hello,
 * Is there any easy way to get / generate an url with the data of the eventsmap(
   global map), in order to populate a google map with markers on another website
   or in a mobile app for example…?
 * Thanks
    Toni

 * Hi,
 * you can add this url in Events > Settings > Formatting > Maps > Location balloon
   format or Location balloon format
 *     ```
       <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/place?q=#_LOCATIONADDRESS,+#_LOCATIONSTATE&hl=#_LOCATIONCOUNTRY" target="_blank">view map in new window</a>
       ```

 * Hi,
 * thank you for your answer, but this is not what I meant.
 * I would like to get a way of populating a map somewhere else with the marker 
   generated by the global_map (for example scope=”today”) in events manager.
    =
   > Our mobile app provides a map, that can be populated by external data. We would
   like these external data to be the markers created by EM in the global map. It
   refers to a .php file where the child contents would be location markers with
   some other informations…

 * I would like an url providing json data to feed a map somewhere else with EM 
   global-map markers.
    Example : on my WP website with EM installed, I display 
   a global map with today’s events (locationsmap, scope=today). I would like to
   generate the same map from a mobile app, not just display my website page in 
   the mobile app. I use buzztouch, with a [location module](https://www.buzztouch.com/plugins/plugin.php?pid=9E669EFC6F081CA47A33877):
   They say we can provide a data url :
 * If you provide location data from a remote file there is not childItems array.
   Instead,
    the locations are pulled from a remote file then added to the map.
 * {
    “itemId”:”1111″, “itemType”:”BT_screen_map”, “itemNickname”:”Location Map”,“
   navBarTitleText”:”Monterey Spots”, “dataURL”:”[http://mywebsite.com/locationsForMap.php&#8221](http://mywebsite.com/locationsForMap.php&#8221);}
 * In this case the locations would come from a backend script at the dataURL. Loading
   
   the dataURL in your browser would produce output like this….
 * {
    “childItems”:[ { “itemId”:”D441703507867F328A084DF”, “itemType”:”BT_mapLocation”,“
   latitude”:”36.600723″, “longitude”:”-121.8928338″, “title”:”Location 1″, “subTitle”:”
   234 Del Monte Blvd Monterey CA 93940″
 * Thank you for your help, I’m learning…

 * if you can code you can probably do this using EM_Events::get
