View Contacts on the Map helps you see your saved Connecti5 connections based on their location. Instead of scrolling through a contact list, you can view people as markers on a map, open their details, and take quick actions like calling, messaging, navigating, or planning a route.
Use this guide when you want to understand how the map works, why some contacts appear or do not appear, and what to do if the map does not show expected results.
What this page helps you do
This guide helps you understand how to use the Connecti5 map view, view saved connections as markers, open contact details from the map, use map controls, search locations, refresh contacts, and fix common map visibility problems.
When should you use Contacts on the Map?
Use Contacts on the Map when you want to understand where your saved network is located.
This is useful when:
You want to find business contacts around your current location. You are travelling and want to check who is nearby. You want to explore contacts in a specific city or area. You want to open a contact directly from the map. You want to plan a visit or route to a connection. You want to filter contacts by category, tag, or shortlist.
If you only want to adjust the distance range, use Find Nearby Contacts. If you want directions to a specific person, use Plan a Route to a Contact. If you want to take action from a contact card, use Quick Actions.
How Contacts on the Map works
When you open Connecti5, the app loads the map and tries to center it around your current location. Saved contacts with valid location or address details are shown as markers on the map.
The map may show a radius circle around your current location based on the selected distance range. Contacts inside the selected range can appear on the map if their location data is available.
The developer analysis confirms that contacts are shown as markers on Google Maps, centered around the user’s GPS location, with a selected radius and marker details loaded progressively.
How to view contacts on the map
Follow these steps to view your connections on the map:
- Open the Connecti5 app.
- Allow location permission if the app asks for it.
- Wait for the map to load.
- Check your current location marker or selected area on the map.
- Look for contact markers around the selected radius.
- Tap any contact marker to open contact details.
- Use available actions such as call, message, email, WhatsApp, navigate, or view details.
- Use map controls to refresh, filter, change map type, or re-center your location.
After the map loads, you should be able to view saved contacts with available location details.
Before you start
Before using the map, make sure location permission is enabled for Connecti5.
Also check that your contacts have usable address or location details. If a contact has only a name and phone number, it may be saved in your connections list but may not appear on the map.
You also need an active internet connection because the map and location data depend on online map services.
What contact details are needed for map visibility?
For a contact to appear on the map, the contact should have valid location information.
This can include:
A proper address Latitude and longitude A Google Map URL or resolved map location A geocodable business location
If location details are missing or invalid, the contact may not appear on the map even if the person exists in your connections list.
This is why contacts added through Add a Connection Manually, Import Contacts from Your Phonebook, or Scan a Business Card should be reviewed carefully for address and location accuracy.
Understanding map markers
Contacts may appear as circular markers on the map.
Depending on available data, the marker may show a profile photo or initials. The app may first show initials and then load profile images gradually for better performance.
Pinned or shortlisted contacts may appear with special colored markers so you can recognize important contacts faster.
The developer analysis notes that markers may load in phases, first with initials and later with profile images, and pinned or favorite contacts can use custom colored markers.
Using the radius circle
The radius circle helps you understand the nearby range currently applied on the map.
For example, if the selected distance is 1 KM, the map focuses on contacts within that range. If you want to see more contacts, increase the distance from Find Nearby Contacts.
If no contacts are visible, it does not always mean your network is empty. It may mean:
The selected radius is too small. Contacts are outside the selected area. Contacts do not have location details. Filters are active. Location permission is disabled.
Search and explore other locations
The map may allow you to search for a location or long-press an area to explore contacts around a selected point.
This is helpful when you want to check your network in another city, event area, office location, or business zone without physically being there.
If location search does not work, check your internet connection and try a more specific address or area name.
Using filters on the map
You can use Filter Your Contacts to narrow the map results by category, tag, or saved filter presets.
For example, you can filter only vendors, clients, doctors, consultants, partners, or people from a specific group if those details are available in your contacts.
If filters are active and no contacts appear, clear filters and check the map again.
What happens when you tap a marker?
When you tap a contact marker, Connecti5 can show a contact detail view or bottom sheet.
From there, you may be able to:
View contact name and company Call the contact Send SMS or WhatsApp Send email Open navigation View full contact details Add notes or use other available actions
The available actions depend on what details are saved for that contact.
Common problems and fixes
Map is not loading
Check your internet connection first. Map services need active internet to load properly.
If the map still does not load, close and reopen the app. You can also try switching between mobile data and Wi-Fi.
Location permission is denied
If location permission is denied, Connecti5 may not be able to center the map on your current location.
Open your phone settings, find Connecti5, and allow location access. Then reopen the app and try again.
Contacts are not showing on the map
Contacts appear on the map only if they have valid address or location data.
Open the contact details and check whether address, latitude, longitude, or map location information is available. If not, update the contact manually.
I can see contacts in the list but not on the map
This usually means those contacts do not have usable location details.
A contact can exist in your connection list with only name and phone number, but the map needs location data to show it as a marker.
Nearby contacts are not visible
Increase the distance range using Find Nearby Contacts. Also check whether the contact is within the selected radius and has valid coordinates.
Only a few contacts are visible
Check whether filters are active. If filters are applied, the map shows only matching contacts.
Clear filters and refresh the map to see all available contacts.
Markers are overlapping
If many contacts are saved around the same area, markers may overlap. Zoom in to separate nearby markers and tap carefully.
The developer analysis notes that marker clustering is not available, so dense areas may show overlapping markers.
Map is showing the wrong location
Check whether GPS is enabled and location permission is allowed.
If GPS is unavailable, Connecti5 may use a fallback location. The developer analysis confirms that the fallback location can be Ahmedabad, India when GPS is unavailable.
Profile images are loading slowly on markers
This is normal when there are many contacts. The app may show initials first and load profile photos gradually.
Wait for a few seconds or refresh the map if needed.
Contact still does not appear after adding address
The address may not have been converted into valid coordinates. Try editing the contact and selecting a proper address suggestion, or add location details again.
Error or empty messages you may see
You may see messages such as:
“First, add your contacts, then view nearby contacts.” “Adjust the range slider to show more nearby contacts.” “Clear all filters and try again.” “Authentication failed. Please login again.” “Failed to fetch locations.” “No data returned from API.”
These messages usually mean that no contacts are available, no contacts match the current radius or filters, your login session expired, or the app could not load location data from the server.
Important limitations
Contacts appear on the map only when valid location or address data is available.
Contacts outside the selected radius may not appear until you increase the distance.
If filters are active, only matching contacts are shown.
Markers may overlap in dense areas because marker clustering may not be available.
If GPS is unavailable, the app may use a fallback location.
Profile image markers can load progressively, so initials may appear before images.
The web version may use different map behavior compared to the mobile app.
Still need help?
If contacts are not appearing on the map or the map does not load, contact Connecti5 support or send feedback from the app.
When reporting the issue, share your registered email or mobile number, whether location permission is enabled, whether the contact has address details, the selected distance range, any active filters, your device name, app version, and a screenshot of the map if possible.
