Brand New Release: Geolocation Add-On 1.3

By Gravity Forms Published August 27, 2024

Gravity Forms is pleased to announce an update to our Geolocation Add-On. Version 1.3 contains several new filters and a number of fixes, including…

Added the JS-based gform_geolocation_autocomplete_options_pre_init filter, so the autocomplete initialization options can be customized.
Added the JS-based gform_geolocation_autocomplete_mappings_pre_populate filter, so the input values can be customized before the Address field is populated.

Enable Address Autocomplete and Automatically Add Location Data to Form Entry Submissions

Once you’ve installed the Geolocation Add-On, you can capture location data with each form entry submission.

You can also add address autocomplete to forms via integration with the Google Places API for easy lookup and population of addresses.

View Geolocation Data

With this add-on installed, you can view the location details of each form entry submission in your WordPress dashboard. Entries include a Google Map that displays the user’s location when they submitted the entry as well as other location-based information.

Enable Address Autocomplete

You can also use the add-on to assist users who are adding an address to a form entry.

The address auto-complete functionality of the add-on will increase the accuracy of location-based data submitted via your forms and make entering an address more convenient, leading to improved user satisfaction and form completion rates.

To see exactly how this add-on works, check out the Geolocation Add-On documentation.

Note: The Geolocation Add-On is available with the Gravity Forms Elite license. For more information on the features and other add-ons available on this plan, check out the Elite license page.
