Geocoder field
Translate an address to latitude/longitude using a simple lookup button on Google Maps.
Template parameters available
{$< FIELDNAME >_ADDRESS} = This will render the text from the address line.
{$< FIELDNAME >_LON} = The longitude
{$< FIELDNAME >_LAT} = The latitude
(In F2C PRO only) The Geocoder field is used to collect location information (latitude/longitude). It will display a map in your submission form and calculate the marker position based on an address submitted by the visitor/user. If the location of the marker isn't exact, the user can select and drag the marker to the right location before save.
Please note: This F2C Field does not create a map with a marker in your Joomla article! See below how you can accomplish that.
Geocoder field settings
The settings for this field are very logical and are about how the Google map will be displayed in the submission form. Size, default position/location etc. (image 1 & 3). This will result in the map in your form, image 2.
Example: Joomla google maps plugin & F2C
It is possible to display a Google map with marker (location with information) using the GeoCoder field and a Joomla Google maps plugin like Mike Reumers.
IMPORTANT: It seems Mike's plugin is no longer available. An alternative is GoogleMaps by kksou which works in a similar way. https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/googlemaps-by-kksou/
