Geolocation. How to collect GPS information and show it linked to Google Maps

You can get a location (latitude and longitude) of your form submitter, by just enabling geolocation option in Location field type.

You can collect GPS information from your users using Location field type with enabled Geolocation option.

Please, see below how to enable it.
