With many locations, a list in your own order is of little use to a visitor. The start screen shows the map and “Find the nearest one to you” with two buttons: choose a region, or Nearest to me (the browser asks for the location only when this is clicked). The cards appear as soon as the visitor chooses, searches or clicks the map; Show all lists everything.
Choose it under Settings → Features → Buttons & texts → When the page opens:
- Automatic (default since 0.9.2): the start screen appears when there are more than 20 locations; with fewer, the list is shown at once.
- List all locations: always show the list.
- Ask the visitor to choose an area first: always show the start screen.
One page can differ from the setting: in the block’s settings choose When the page opens, or add it to the shortcode, for example [sanvador_store_locator start="prompt"] (auto, all or prompt). Sites that saved this setting before 0.9.2 keep their choice.
