We are happy to announce an update for the Gravity Forms geolocation addon. Version 1.4 contains several fixes, including…

• Fixed code placement to be consistent with WordPress coding standards.
• Fixed an issue where the longitude input is populated with the latitude value.

Add address autocomplete and location data capture to your forms

The Gravity Forms geolocation add-on makes it easy to automatically collect location data with form submissions. The add-on also allows you to improve user experience by enabling address auto-completion for your forms.

Show geolocation data

Enabling the geolocation addon allows you to record and store location data for every form entry submitted on your site. The form user’s longitude and latitude are captured, allowing you to display address or location information when a form entry is submitted.

To make this information more meaningful, you can display a Google Map in the WordPress dashboard for each form entry. With this, you will be able to see where your form users are located.

Address autofill

Another useful feature of the geolocation addon is the address autocomplete functionality. If you choose to enable this feature, users should find it more convenient to enter their addresses into your forms, which should have a positive impact on form abandonment rates.

The Gravity Forms documentation has more information on using the Geolocation add-on.
