Using google maps as an input method
- by Vasiliy Sharapov
I'm wondering if it's possible to use gmaps pretty much as a type of input. Normally for Location a user has to enter:
street address
town/city
state/province
postal code
country
This seems too clunky to me, does anyone here know of a more elegant process?
My perfect address-entering interface is a gmaps search bar with a map under it. When the user clicks a marker instead of a speech bubble containing location information they get one containing a submit button or equivalent.
I'm not sure anything like this has been implemented before.
