How to Autocomplete Addresses in Forms with Google Places

Speed up address entry with Google-powered autocomplete

The Google Address field lets you autocomplete address fields in forms in WordPress using the Google Places API. When someone enters a partial address, suggested addresses appear. After an address is selected, its components can populate other fields on your form.

You can map Google address components to Text, Text Area, Select, Google Address, and Google Map fields. The selected address can also center a WS Form Google Map field, with an optional zoom level.

The field includes restrictions for result type and country restrictions, with support for up to five countries. You can also filter results by businesses and use geolocation methods such as browser or IP to attempt to set the address to the user’s location.
