Manually Adjusting Geocoder Results by Dragging the Pin to New Locations

[Dr. Ezra Boyd]

We are working on a geocoder module using Google Maps JS API. We have a webform where the user enters their address with a map element next to it. When the user submits their info, a pin for the geocoded location shows up on the map. For the cases where the results are incorrect, is it possible to set it up so that the user can interactively drag the pin to the correct location?

Thanks,

Ezra

Sure, why not?

There must be code that when it receives the geocoder response, it adds a marker to the map. Just make sure it sets 'draggable:true' on the options for the marker.

You must also store the location in the form (in hidden fields?) so can submit. Just have a dragend event on the marker, update the same details as the geocoder reply does.
