Location Selector Default

Possibly your browser settings for privacy conflict?

My members must select geolocation when they log-in since I have nearby people module... so this would not be an issue, is this still possible to default to on?   

To further complicate this confusing matter, Google has recently begun to charge for their once-free map api services.

Simple Question: In order to get the location toggle switch to NOT appear (since it has no function to a users other than to frustrate them) but instead to show the address fields, is a working (paid) google map api key necessary? Necessary for the address fields to display?

In the instructions from UNA, we are directed to png image files in a library folder. Where might the library folder reside?

I can tell you this with certainly: When visitors come to your site and can't figure out what is going on, they will seldom return. If they wanted to post their location with every type of submission, they could easily just add that information.

I am trying to get the Location function to work on the Persons (Profile) module. So that a user can edit their location on their profile. Wondering if the geo-location aspect could be the issue. Thank you for considering it.

Looks like the "Library" in the UNA instructions is actually the Library tab on the google maps page. This is where the api's are found which must be enabled. For me, they are already enabled but I have never been charged anything for this "service". Maybe I was "grandfathered" in from 10 years ago when my project was created.

Has anyone been able to use the same google map key on multiple sites? I cannot see where the key is tied to a particular site.

As for the location of every type of submission - discussion, post, file, article - it just invites confusion and needlessly clutters up the page in most cases. Sure, if the entire site was devoted to travel, map-making, or perhaps photography, it would be a nice feature.

So, how do you remove this "disabled by default" toggle switch and only have the address fields display for the Profile location? City and State is all I need for the profile page. The street number and address fields can be disabled via CSS in the custom theme section.

I am certain this can be done because one of my sites is already configured so that there is no toggle switch but simply the address fields, city and state and country. I cannot however reproduce it on another site.

Back to the original question above, by the original poster: What does a visitor to your site think when they click a toggle switch and nothing really happens. Does the fact that it returns to the "location off" position mean that their location has been determined and recorded? And how would they know that ???

To those who might research the matter at a later date. Here below are the UNA instructions. Good luck - because you will surely need it.

3. How do I generate Google Maps API Key ?

Go to https://console.developers.google.com/ and create new project, when a new project is created (select it if it isn't selected automatically) go to Credentials > Create Credentials > API Key, copy created API key and insert it in UNA Studio > Settings > General > Google Maps API Key, then go to Library:

Then enable the following APIs:

• Google Maps JavaScript API

• Google Maps Geocoding API

• Google Static Maps API

• Google Places API Web Service

Additionally, according to recent changes you also need to add Billing Account to your project:
