    Hi M Bowerbank,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. The Geolocation Widget has an option to change the output format to capture both the address and coordinates. Let me walk you through on how to Add the Geolocation Widget.

    1. In the Form Builder, click on the Add Form Element button.

    2. Go to the Widgets tab.

    3. Next, search for Geolocation and add it to the form.

    4. After that, change the output format to 'Address ~ Latitude and Longtitude' and supply the Google Map API key.

    5. Lastly, click on Update Widget.

    Take note that you must have a Google Map API key in order to make this widget work. Here's a guide on How to Get Google Maps API Key for Mapping widgets.

    Give it a try and let us know if there's anything else we can help you with.
