Is it possible to start the Store Locator and show no stores? I.e. only show stores, after a search has been made please?

> **This topic is archived.** `woosmap.TiledView()` belongs to the Store Locator JS API, which has been retired. The same concept in the current library is documented in [Tiled View](https://developers.woosmap.com/products/map-api/concepts/tiled-view/), and [Display stores overlay](https://developers.woosmap.com/products/map-api/guides/display-stores-overlay/) covers when stores get drawn.

Yes, sure.  
You need to instantiate the `woosmap.TiledView()` after the wanted user action.  
For example, in the below jsfiddle, the Mapview is instantiated after the user hit “Enter” in the input text.
