⚠️⚠️⚠️ ATTENTION ⚠️⚠️⚠️ and 🚀 New Features

⚠️⚠️⚠️ If you see 2 different folders in your local as google-map-card/google-map-card.js and Google-Map-Card/google-map-card.js then

• you should keep folder Google-Map-Card/google-map-card.js
• you should delete folder google-map-card/google-map-card.js

This should also be done for resources

🚀 New Features

1) On-Map Date Picker

View historical data without opening the card settings—there’s now a powerful date picker directly on the map.

• Dynamic Date Display: A new control in the top-left shows the currently selected date range.
• Quick Navigation: Jump to the previous or next day with a single click.
• Advanced Calendar UI: Clicking the date range opens a modern calendar where you can:
  • Select a specific start and end date.
  • Set start and end times independently.
• Instant Update: After pressing Apply, the map’s location history (lines and points) updates immediately to the new range.
• Availability: Applies to all entities that have Date Range enabled in their settings.

2) Adjustable Button Opacity & Auto-Hide

Keep your map clean while staying in control.

• Opacity Control: Configure the default transparency of control buttons (Zoom, Traffic, Weather, etc.) in card settings.
• Smart Visibility: When the cursor hovers over the map, all buttons become fully visible; when it leaves, they return to your configured opacity.

✨ Improvements & Changes

1) Enhanced Date-Range Selection (Editor)

The method for defining date ranges for an entity in the editor has been redesigned.

• Legacy Method Removed: The old text-based (flatpickr) inputs have been removed.
• Modern Dialog: A user-friendly dialog—similar to the on-map picker—now lets you choose dates and times with ease.

2) Dependency Updates

Underlying UI components were updated for better stability and performance. (This is behind the scenes and doesn’t change how you interact with the card, but improves overall reliability.)

✨ New Features

1. Geo-Location Source Support: Add More Data to Your Map!

You can now display geo_location source devices from Home Assistant directly on your map — perfect for mapping events from various integrations.

What can you map?

• Natural events like nearby wildfires or earthquakes
• Motion events detected by your security cameras
• Notifications from local services (e.g., trash collection days or incidents)

How it works:

• Add your desired geo_location_sources (e.g., blitzortung, nws_alerts, frigate) in the Entities & Sources section of the card settings.
• All locations from these sources will automatically appear on your map.

2. Advanced History Viewing: Date Range Selection

Gain greater flexibility in tracking location history! Instead of just a relative timeframe like "last 24 hours," you can now pick a specific start and end date.

Benefits:

• Precise Time Control: Ideal for requests like
  • "Show my vacation route from last week"
  • "Analyze my drive from yesterday afternoon"
• User-Friendly Interface: Date/time picker for each entity in card settings
• Quick Shortcuts:
  • Today
  • Yesterday
  • 7 days ago

How to enable:

• In the entity’s settings, check Enable Date Range.
• This will override the Hours to Show setting.

• Clearer Settings Menu:

  • The "Entities" section is now renamed Entities & Sources.
  • Entities and Geo-Location sources are clearly separated for easier management.

• Increased Compatibility:

Google Map Card Version 2.0.6: All-New Clustering, Deprecation of Zone Clustering, Follow, Control and Reset Map

Hello, map lovers! This release is packed with exciting new features and significant improvements to make your map experience cleaner, smarter, and more controllable. Here’s what’s new:

New: Proximity Clustering ✨ (Feature Request)

This is the biggest new feature in this release! Now, entities on the map automatically group together under a single icon when they are close to each other, even if they are not in the same 'zone'.

What it does: This makes your map much cleaner and more readable, especially in situations where multiple people are in the same place (e.g., at home or at an event). Instead of cluttered icons, you'll see a single counter showing how many entities are grouped together.

Customizable: You can set the distance (in meters) at which this clustering activates from within the card settings.

⚠️ IMPORTANT CHANGE: This new feature replaces the older, less flexible 'Zone Clustering' feature. Zone Clustering is deprecated! Please update your yaml

New: Advanced Follow Features & Recenter Button 🎯

• Smart Focus: If you haven't selected a specific entity to follow, the map will now automatically center and zoom to fit all your entities on the screen. This auto-focus re-engages 10 seconds after you stop interacting with the map. (Feature Request)

• "Recenter" Button: When you manually pan or zoom the map and after you are done simply press the new "Recenter" button, which can be added to the map optionally. (Feature Request)

New: Map Type Selector Button 🗺️ (Feature Request)

New smaller button that allows you to quickly switch between map types like 'Roadmap', 'Satellite', 'Hybrid', and 'Terrain'. So much space for the map

I hope this new version makes Google Map Card more flexible and powerful for you. Enjoy!

🚀 New Feature: Zone Clustering

🚀 New Feature: Zone Clustering

Entities within the same zone can be show as number until zoom level is higher than 18.
It can be enabled/disabled under Main Settings section or yaml zone_clustering: true zone_clustering: false
