New field type “Location”: pick address from Google Maps

We’ve just launched a new field type called “location”, it will allow you to save addresses and their latitude/longitude with help of Google Maps API.
This is how it works – you just choose a field type from the dropdown:
And then you have a visually text field which looks like this:
After you choose address, it adds a picker to the map and saves latitude/longitude into the database, too.
SQL database looks like this:
Just don’t forget to fill in GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY in your .env file after download!

Hello, i just tried to add code GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY=”API KEY” in .env but not function
Thank’s
Hi, recently Google changed their terms and you need credit card entered in their system (and pay for Google Maps if you reach the free limit), maybe you haven’t done it?
I couldnt find this option on Vue. Are you going to implement it on Vue soon?
Hi Mustafa, it wasn’t implemented in Vue because it’s totally different JavaScript code, also that field type was not popular so we decided not to invest time for now. Currently we’re not planning new features in Vue until Spring 2019, now fully focused on new version: https://blog.quickadminpanel.com/new-quickadminpanel-in-2019-what-were-working-on/
I can’t find location field type in quick admin panel 2019
We removed it in 2019 version, because it was really unpopular and also Google Maps changed their pricing and is not free anymore, so it’s even less used. But maybe we will get it back if enough people request.

How about i can do about this function? Please explain other ways for using this function.
Thank’s
Hi Povilas Korop,
I am new to QuickAdminPanel and Laravel too!! Gone through all the features.. Congratulations to your team and efforts in putting most of in demand features as simple as possible.
Few of my basic requirements in the QuickAdminPanel Generator that I would love to see are:
1. Three level drop down- (e.g. Country, State, District or Component/Sub- Component/Activity) that you explained in a video and a blog post too but I am still not able to succeed.
2. Enable Textbox on Selection of “Others” in drop down.
3. Implement Organizational Structure –
a. Country Office – Can view/edit/delete their data, data of state offices and regional offices
b. State Offices – Can view/edit/delete their office data and its regional offices data only
c. Regional Offices – Can view/edit/delete their office data only. Similarly for reports..
4. A button which on click will locate latitude & longitude of current location into a textbox with a Google Map below showing the point.
Would really appreciate if you could reactivate Location Field Type and also think of the remaining points. I know my wishes are some how greedy and but they could be time saving. Thanks! Keep up the good work!
Please Can you do a tutorial on how to implement the Location field? Since it’s been removed since 2019
