Delivery Location Selection Using Google Maps

Hello everyone, 

 

Please help me, how can I allow customers to select their delivery location on a Google map, so that it is saved as a latitude and longitude coordinate, instead of having them type in their location at checkout.

 

In my country, the street addresses aren't properly developed. Using latitude and longitude coordinates to input delivery locations makes more sense. 

 

Your advice will be highly appreciated.

Hello @Sakhile you are right that using coordinates might be more useful in this case. You could try the app Wayfinder. It allows you to insert a map in your store where your customers can pin drop their delivery locations. The location and coordinates get stored in your order details. Check it out 😉
