Address Field Features¶
The extension enhances standard EspoCRM address fields with address search, current-position lookup, coordinates, and automatic geocoding.
What Is Added to Address Fields¶
Added actions¶
- Search Type in the search box and select a Photon result to fill street, city, state, country, postal code, latitude, and longitude.
- Locate Current Position Uses browser geolocation and Photon reverse lookup to fill the address from the user's current location.
- Get Coordinates Uses the current typed address to fetch coordinates and address data.
- Automatic Geocoding on Save
When the address changes and the provider is
OpenStreetMap, the extension can fill coordinates automatically before the record is saved.
