confirming street address with google maps
Asked by ANGRYFACE on March 18, 2014 at 04:01 AMIs there a way that a physical address - when entered into my form - can be confirmed by google maps? I am a delivery service provider and it would be great to find out the address entered is incorrect before I drive out there

Thank you for contacing us.
I don't think that google map has that validation but you can use Address Map Locator widget or the Geo Complete to verify if the address does exist.
I think the closest functionality would be the Geo Complete. I made a test and works perfect when searching for a physical address.
Let us know if you have questions or problem with using those widgets.

Answered by ANGRYFACE on March 18, 2014 at 07:00 PMThank you Jedcadorna - Geo Complete is what I am after. however If you type in an incorrect address it still allows for the entry. Is there a way which the entry will not allow further submission unless the address is accurate?
