Description:
MB Geolocation is an extension for Meta Box that works with the Google Maps and Open Street Maps geocoding API to fill location data into your custom fields automatically. Instead of typing each detail by hand, you register the fields you need, such as address, postal code, state and country, as normal fields in Meta Box. When a user enters an address, the extension pulls the matching information from the geocoding service and populates the remaining fields on its own.
No location database is required on your site, and the lookup is instant. Because the data comes from the large Google Maps and Open Street Maps databases, the values that fill your fields are correct. A binding template covers cases where you want to save complex data in a single field, for example state and country stored together.
The extension is aimed at developers who enter location details for places such as shops or restaurants, where address, suburb, post code, latitude and longitude would otherwise be slow and time consuming to complete. It is easy to use and reduces the time needed for this work. After purchase, you can download the extension instantly and get an account in the support forum for questions.
The vendor’s own page for Meta Box Geolocation has the full details.
