Introduction
This quick reference guide lists all settings related to the Geolocation Add-On and provides a short description of each setting’s purpose.
These settings are available on the Gravity Forms Settings Page, under the “Geolocation” tab.
Add-On Settings
| Settings | Description |
|---|---|
| Google Places API Key | To use Geolocation, you will need a Google Places API key. A green checkmark indicates a valid API key. |
| Form Submission Geolocation Settings | If enabled, location data for the user submitting the form will be collected and displayed on the Entry Detail page. |
| Google Maps Conflicts | If you have other plugins enabled that load the Google Maps JavaScript library, you can enable this setting to avoid conflicts when Geolocation is enabled. Unless you are experiencing JavaScript conflicts, it is safest to leave this setting disabled. |
| Enable the New Google Places API | This option is enabled by default to use the new Google Places API. Disable it to use the legacy API instead. |
Note: As of March 1, 2025, the Google Places API (Legacy) entered “Legacy” status, an intermediate phase before full deprecation and decommissioning. To use an API key that was generated for the legacy Google Places API, you must disable the “Enable New” setting
