Hi,
​
Could you add latitude and longitude in the google address widget ?
​
Thanks

While you're waiting, you can add a little javascript to get it yourself

Thanks Healy
We don't need an API key with this?

You sure do. This JS would be AFTER you've used the address widget to get the place ID

There are several code..?

There sure are, do you know a little JS? Pick the one that seems best. Too tired to do it for you at the moment sorry, but it gives you a place to start.

ok thanks

something I don't understand
​
I load the api
<script async defer src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyArIMfFJkRRrUBQh1wfcUjYx8dYPfBt5mI&callback=initMap" type="text/javascript"></script>
​
the script js

prospect_town = jQuery("#prospect_town");
prospect_country = jQuery("#prospect_country");
prospect_state = jQuery("#prospect_state");
jQuery(countries).on("change", function(){
 prospect_country.val(countries.val());
});
 
jQuery(countries).on("change", function(){
 prospect_state.val(states.val());
 prospect_country.val(countries.val());
        getLatLngFromAddress( prospect_town.val(), prospect_country.val() )
});

function getLatLngFromAddress(town, country){

  var address = town +", "+ country;
  var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();

  geocoder.geocode( { 'address': address}, function(results, status) {

    if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
      jQuery('#latitude').val(results[0].geometry.location.Pa);
      jQuery('#longitude').val(results[0].geometry.location.Qa);

    } else {
      console.log("Geocode was not successful for the following reason: " + status);
    }
  });
}

​
After select a town the console indicate the key is not good!!!

The key is valid with the google address widget, it works...

Places API and the Maps API might be different, follow the link and have a look
