Now your site visitors can enter and search for addresses in the Address Input element!
They’ll receive address suggestions directly from Google Maps Autocomplete as they type .
You can find the Address Input Editor element under User Input in the Add panel.
What can you do with Address Input?
Display the entered address in a Google Maps element.
Calculate and recommend the branch of your business closest to your site visitor.
Filter and sort page content based on the entered address.
Build a custom form that accepts a physical address from visitors. No code required, simply connect the Address Input to a field of type address in a database collection.
Note that Wix Forms does not support Address Input yet.
Important: You need to get your own API key from Google to activate your Address Input elements. Make sure to restrict this key to avoid fees. Learn how .
That’s it. We’re here for questions, and of course, feedback is much appreciated!
Enjoy
I can assure you we are even more glad that you had tested it for us!
It was an extremely insightful Beta and we have made many changes based on your feedback, as well as that of others.
Thank you for reporting this.
I’ll let the team working on the Dashboard’s Database Manager know. The Editor’s Collection Manager seems to be consistent with the Address Input.
BTW, when a visitor enters “Ayr Racecourse” and selects the first suggestion from the list - what would you like to be displayed inside the Address Input, and what would you like to be displayed in the Data Collection?
@eyalc so on the DROPDOWN list of options on the User Input (Editor Element) it reads ‘Ayr Racecourse, Whitletts Road, Ayr, KA8 0JE, UK’ but upon clicking, it changes to ‘Whitletts Rd, Ayr KA8 OJE’
In the Database Manager, it displays on the dropdown selection with ‘Ayr Racecourse, Whitletts Road, Ayr, KA8 0JE, UK’ but upon clicking it stays as ‘Ayr Racecourse, Whitletts Road, Ayr, KA8 0JE, UK’
@eyalc I don’t remember this being there at the time of launch and neither when the BETA was released. The first time I noticed it was around December 10th (when I posted this)
At first I thought this was a bug on only 1 site but then I tried it on a couple of different sites and it was occurring everywhere.

We found the root cause of the issue and fixed it. The fix will be rolled out with the next Editor update, which is expected to take time no later than next week.
Note that we also learned a similar issue occurs with the pop-ups some Editor Elements open, namely: the Horizontal/Vertical Menu submenus, the Date Picker calendar and the Multilingual Language selection list.
This is not yet fixed; working on it.
(edit) Works like a charm, thanks! Don’t know if it had anything to do with it but I changed the addressInput(first template) for another (third template). And it works perfect.
–I have put an addressInput on my home page, connected to Google API and a collection through a dataset. Now when the dropdown appears from Google and I click the address suggestion I wish to choose, that address doesn’t appear in the addressInput. And when hitting submitButton it gives validity error, as the Google suggestion is not moved to the addressInput when clicked so it doesn’t register a location value (I guess…) Any ideas? No Corvid code on homepage at the moment.–
Hi Eyal, I was just trying this out, but can’t seem to enable the api on google cloud, which I was already loggin into via stackdriver site monitoring. I get the following message: IAM: you have insufficient permissions to enable or disable services and APIs for this project. Contact a project owner to request permissions.
