A location search will return a list of markers within a specified distance in miles from a location given in decimal degrees. The default distance is 10 miles, but can be changed. An example looks like "43.2168,-75.4535,10" where "latitude,longitude,distance" are separated by comma's.
Your device's location services can be enabled by clicking the location icon next to the search field, and your location will be automatically entered into the search field. Click the search icon once your location appears in the search field to initiate the search.
The location icon can also be used to display your current location on the marker Map View page.
