Gravity Geolocation Settings page for Gravity Forms.
Gravity Geolocation Settings Options
1. License Key
Enter your Gravity Geolocation license key. This key is required to activate the plugin and receive updates and support. Expired licenses allow the plugin to function but without updates or support. Retrieve or manage your license key from your account page.
2. Google Maps Browser API Key
Enter your Google Maps Browser API key. This key is required for the plugin to interact with Google Maps services in Gravity Forms. If you don’t have one, create one here. For a step-by-step guide, follow this tutorial.
3. Google Maps Country Code
Specify the country code for the default country to be used with Google Maps Geocoding services in Gravity Forms. Refer to this list of country codes.
4. Google Maps Language
Enter the language code for the default language to be used by the Google Maps API in Gravity Forms. This setting determines the language displayed on the map interface and in address autocomplete suggestions. Refer to this page for a complete list of available language codes.
5. High Accuracy Location Mode
Enable this option to allow the auto-locator (via the Locator Button or Page Locator) to potentially retrieve a more accurate location. This may slightly delay location retrieval as it relies on the browser’s HTML5 geolocation.
Note: This option affects only HTML5 geolocation, not IP-based location detection.
6. IP Address Locator
Select an IP address provider to enable IP-based geolocation for the auto-locate feature. This option can be used as a fallback or an alternative to HTML5 geolocation.
Note: Location accuracy depends on the chosen provider, and some may require registration or an API key.
Ipapi.co: No registration needed for the free plan but available with other plans.
7. Google Maps Server API Key
This optional key is only necessary for using server-side geocoding via custom functions. Create one here or refer to this tutorial.
8. Disable Google Maps API
Enable this option to prevent the Gravity Geolocation plugin from loading the Google Maps API. This is useful if another plugin or theme on your site already loads the API, helping to avoid potential conflicts caused by multiple instances of the Google Maps API.
Note: Disabling this feature may cause the plugin to malfunction if the other plugin or theme does not load the Google Maps API correctly or fails to load it on the page with the Gravity Form.
