FAQs

See below for some common questions regarding Address Capture as a whole, and the Geolocation functionality specifically.

Which way of integrating Address Capture will work best for me?

How do I best take the fields from an Address Capture response and map them back to my address fields?

Should I make my API calls client-side or server-side?

Is it possible to get latitude and longitude coordinates when I retrieve an address?

Yes - various additional fields are available, when you get an address from our Retrieve endpoint, and (where the data is available) this includes latitude and Longitude.

When using the API, this is achieved by the fieldxformat parameters within the Retrieve method. In order to request the latitude and longitude you need to add them into the parameters, like below:

&field1format={Latitude}&field2format={Longitude}

This will then Return Latitude and Longitude in Field1 and Field2 in the response respectively.

If consuming the service via the Tag method, you can enter the same input into the mappings wizard.

Browser auto-fill is interfering with my address lookup, can I turn it off?

Yes - for the best experience when using Address Capture, we recommend you turn off the browser autofill functionality for address form fields.

Firstly, below where the Loqate Tag script has been placed on the page, insert the following JavaScript code snippet:

pca.on("load", function(type, id, control){ 
  var isChrome = !!window.chrome || !!window.chrome.webstore; 
  if (isChrome == true){ 
    for (i=0; control.fields.length > i; i++){ 
      pca.getElement(control.fields[i].element).autocomplete = "GBGTEST"; 
    };
  }; 
});

On the Address Form Fields, we have found success in adding the attribute autocomplete=“none”, to disable the browser’s autofill. For example:

autocomplete="none" placeholder="Start typing your address"  autofocus name=“searchTerm” />

We recommended that you test this code across multiple popular web browsers.
