Everest Forms Geolocation

Description

The Geolocation addon connects Everest Forms to the Google Maps API, displaying an address field with autocomplete that suggests streets, cities, and countries as the visitor types. The extension also detects the user’s location via the browser’s GPS and automatically fills in coordinates, postal code, and country in the forms, eliminating manual typing in registrations, quote requests, and local listings.

Key Features

• Address autocomplete
  Suggests addresses in real time via Google Places while the user types in the field.
• Automatic location detection
  Captures latitude, longitude, and country of the visitor using the browser’s geolocation.
• Interactive map field
  Adds a Google Maps map to the form for visual selection of a precise point.
• Country restriction
  Limits address suggestions to specified countries, filtering results outside the target area.
• Dynamic regional content
  Allows conditioning of fields, messages, and options based on the identified location.

Benefits of Geolocation

• Faster registrations
  Reduces fill time by completing addresses with a few clicks on the form.
• Reliable contact data
  Reduces typing errors in street, number, and postal code thanks to validation via the maps API.
• Region-based service segmentation
  Directs leads by city or country, facilitating commercial and logistical triage.
• Enhanced mobile experience for the visitor
  Utilizes the phone’s GPS to fill location without requiring the user to type.

Who is it for?

• Companies with local service that need to collect complete addresses in orders and contacts.
• Real estate agencies, shipping companies, and service providers that rely on precise client coordinates.
• Registration sites, events, and directories that require standardized geographic information in forms.

For those already using Everest Forms and needing to qualify location data in submissions, the component replaces free-form address typing with validated input via Google Maps. This increase in precision speeds up quotation, scheduling, and delivery flows, while also reducing rework in commercial routines that depend on lead geography.
