    Hi Refinor_formularios,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Our Spanish Support agents are busy helping other Jotform users right now, so I'll try to help you in English using Google Translate, but you can reply in whichever language you feel comfortable using. Or, if you'd rather have support in Spanish, let us know and we can have them do that. But, it might take a while until they're available again.

    Now, coming back to your question, You can use the GPS Location widget to get the exact location of the person filling in your form. You can also drag the Marker on the map to change your location. Let me show you how you can add a GPS location widget to your form:

    • Open your form in Form Builder, click on the Add Form Element menu on the left side of the page.
    • Click on the Widget tab, search GPS location and drag and drop it on your form.
    • Now, click on the GPS location widget on the form, and then click on the Wand icon, located on the right side.
    • Enter Google Maps API Key, and then click on Update Widget.

    Consulta, la clave API, como la consigo?

    Alguna vez lo probe, pero el problema es que cuando quieron consultar las posiciones que grabo, la modifica y toma la posicion donde estoy hoy.

    Esto me hace perder la anterior.

    Hi Refinor_formularios,

    Yes, the GPS Location widget, along with other widgets such as Geolocation, will automatically insert the location of the user filling out the form. However, these widgets require a Google Maps API key as it uses Google services. Please follow the steps my colleague shared or check out our guide on How To Get Google Maps API Key for Jotform Mapping Widgets to complete setting t up.

    Let us know if you have any questions.
