Plugin: map-field-for-contact-form-7 (Used by 24 domains)

Google Map Field for Contact Form 7 is the most complete solution for adding a Google Places address autocomplete field to your Contact Form 7 forms. Users type a few characters, select from live suggestions, and an interactive Google Map appears instantly — no page reload needed.

The draggable marker lets users fine-tune the exact pin position. When dragged, the address and coordinates update automatically via reverse geocoding — so what gets submitted is always accurate.

✨ Key Features

• Google Places Autocomplete — real-time address suggestions powered by the Google Places API (new PlaceAutocompleteElement)
• Always-visible interactive map — map renders on page load using your configured default centre; no address selection required
• Draggable marker — users drag the pin to the exact location; address and lat/lng fields update automatically via reverse geocoding
• Responsive map heights — set separate pixel heights for desktop (> 768 px) and mobile (≤ 768 px) from the admin
• Default map centre — configure a default latitude and longitude so the map opens on the right region for your audience
• Address component sub-fields — optionally show separate inputs for Street Number, City, State, Postcode, and Country; each auto-populated on place selection
• Country filter — restrict autocomplete suggestions to one or more countries using ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes (e.g. in, us, gb)
• Place type filter — limit suggestions to specific place types such as airport, restaurant, or art_gallery
• Mail-tag support — use [fieldname-locality], [fieldname-state], [fieldname-postcode], and [fieldname-country] mail tags in CF7 email templates
• Lat/Lng hidden fields — latitude and longitude are captured as hidden fields for backend processing or CRM integrations
• Elementor popup compatible — autocomplete and map re-initialise correctly when used inside Elementor popups
• Elegant form field design — modern, accessible frontend styling with focus rings, smooth transitions, and validation error states
• Translation ready — all field labels are customisable from the settings page; compatible with WPML and Polylang
