Capture validated addresses and calculate driving distances with the Address and Measure Distance components, two premium fields powered by Google Maps.

The Address and Measure Distance components both connect to Google Maps, so they live together as premium fields in the Form Builder. Address collects a clean, validated location in a single field, and Measure Distance turns two of those locations into an accurate driving distance. They are designed to work as a pair: use Address to capture a start and an end point, then drop in Measure Distance to calculate the route between them.

Address

Filling out an Address field, with Google Maps suggesting matching addresses as the submitter types

The Address field suggests matching addresses as the submitter types.

The Address component integrates with Google Maps to provide typeahead address suggestions. Instead of separate inputs for street, city, state, and ZIP, it offers one streamlined field that suggests matching addresses as the submitter types. Because Google Maps supplies the suggestions, the Address component:

  • Speeds up data entry by completing addresses after a few characters.
  • Reduces errors with automatic spelling and formatting validation.
  • Replaces several separate text fields with a single, consistent input.

Properties

Label
The text displayed above the field.
Required
When enabled, the submitter must enter a valid address before submitting.

Address also has the shared Width, Visibility, Show/Hide, validation, Hint, Tooltip, Name, and ID options found on other fields.

Add two Address fields - one for a start location and one for an end location - then drop in a Measure Distance component to calculate the route between them automatically.

Measure Distance

The Measure Distance field calculating the driving distance between two address fields

Measure Distance calculates the driving distance between two address fields.

The Measure Distance component automatically calculates the shortest driving distance between two points. It connects to Address components, or to Computed components that return addresses, making it ideal for any form that needs a distance - mileage reimbursements, field trip requests, or transportation planning.

Properties

Label
The text describing the measured distance - for example, "Travel Distance."
Start Location
The field that supplies the starting point of the measurement.
End Location
The field that supplies the ending point of the measurement.
Unit
The unit for the calculated distance, either miles or kilometers.
To use addresses inside a Table, add columns for the start address, end address, and distance, then set the address columns to the Address type and link the distance column to them.
