Introduction

The Coordinates Field in WPForms Geolocation enables you to capture precise latitude and longitude values, ideal for mapping, spatial analytics, or location-based services. Designed for seamless integration, it synchronizes with the Geocoder Field and other geolocation fields to dynamically update and display geolocation data.

In addition to these settings, the field includes all standard WPForms options, such as labels, descriptions, conditional logic, and more, which can be configured the same way as any other WPForms field.
