Creating a location field
Help your users indicate geographic points more conveniently by providing the option to type an address in a location field. For example, a ride-sharing application might use the location field to help users set a pickup point.
A location field consists of a map and a text box in which the user can enter the address of a place that they want to mark on the map.- Obtain a Google API key. For more information, see the Get an API Key tutorial from Google.
