Coordinates Field

The coordinates field displays an interactive map that the end user can use to drop a pin at a specific location. The latitude and longitude of the selected point are stored in the submission.

This is different from the Address field, which uses address text autocomplete. Use the coordinates field when you need a precise geographic point rather than a postal address — for example, to mark a fault location, a delivery drop-off point, or a field observation site.

The coordinates field requires the Google Maps integration to be configured.

Settings

Label — The label displayed above the map.

Help text — Explanatory text shown below the field.

Required — Makes placing a pin mandatory before the form can be submitted.

Store as — Controls what value is saved in the submission when the end user picks a location: - Coordinates — saves the selected point as a latitude/longitude pair, e.g. 60.123456, 17.654321 - Address — saves a formatted street address string resolved from the selected point, e.g. Storgatan 1, 10000 Stockholm, Sweden

Start coordinates — The coordinates the map is centred on when it first loads. Set these to the area most relevant to your users.

Default zoom level — The zoom level the map opens at (0–19). Higher values zoom in closer.
