I did use some code someone had posted on this forum to do so with WP-GEO, but I'm now using Geo Mashup as my mapping plugin of choice and I've not figured it out (though I do have a map appearing, and lat lon being shown, it's not feeding through to my new plugin) and tbh, I'm not likely to!<br /> To complicate matters, I'm also using a geo-location plugin (Geo My WP - awesome plugin), which plays nicely with Geo Mashup, which pulls the information from Geo My WP's address fields automatically.<br /> So what I'd be after is that Gravity Forms could embed the Geo My WP location finder and map into a form, allowing the users to plot their location by the powerful location search in that plugin.<br /> My example is on <a href="http://www.mudandroutes.com/share-your-route" rel="nofollow">http://www.mudandroutes.com/share-your-route</a>, while the plugin in question is at - <a href="http://geomywp.com/support/forums/topic/retrieve-lat-long/" rel="nofollow">http://geomywp.com/support/forums/topic/retrieve-lat-long/</a> - with the plugin developer appearing keen to add this functionality to his plugin. I think that the combination of these three plugins would provide a powerful tool for user submitted geo-content. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/submit-a-location-on-google-maps-with-form#post-72872 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 06:18:28 +0000 natlarock 72872@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>For a use scenario, how about if you are creating a user-submitted Events section on your site. In addition to allowing visitors to post information about their upcoming events (such as time, date, price,) you'd like to have their venue appear on a map that shows up as part of the custom post. Instead of lat and long, could it pinpoint the address on a Google map based on the street address they input? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/submit-a-location-on-google-maps-with-form#post-72472 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 08:04:39 +0000 Chris Hajer 72472@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Lots of ideas. Someone needs to tell me how they would like to use the data that's going to be stored. Will it just be latitude and longitude stored as form inputs? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/submit-a-location-on-google-maps-with-form#post-72470 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 08:01:12 +0000 1-phantomdentist 72470@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am also very interested in this, any ideas? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/submit-a-location-on-google-maps-with-form#post-72136 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 14:15:49 +0000 Chris Hajer 72136@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>After the visitor clicks on a map, what should happen with the information which corresponds to that location? What information should be stored or where should that information go? You could store latitude and longitude, but that would not be very useful if you wanted to actually view a Google Map with that information. Someone please post a use case for this. I'd like to take a look at making it happen. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/submit-a-location-on-google-maps-with-form#post-72117 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 13:21:49 +0000 1-phantomdentist 72117@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I would find this very useful as well </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/submit-a-location-on-google-maps-with-form#post-65185 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 16:03:46 +0000 wesleyshaw 65185@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'd also find this hugely useful. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/submit-a-location-on-google-maps-with-form#post-65126 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 02:22:57 +0000 Nick 65126@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'd love to know how to do this too.
