When using the location picker there are several options available to configure the location picker to suit your needs. Below are an explaination of all of the properties:


what3words search - This functionality enables the use of what3words to help users locate certain positions on the map. They can also place the pin down without it auto-relocating to the nearest UPRN.


Default to home address - If the user has an address attributed to their account, the location picker will default the marker on the home address. This, of course, can be moved to the user's liking.


Display Map - This will enable an embedded google map of the area, allowing users to drag the mouse to find their location if they do not know the what3words or any other location identifier.


BLPU Classification - This describes the type of properties available on the location picker. If residential is chosen, only residential properties can be selected.


Location within Boundary - If this is enabled, only locations within the council's boundary can be selected.



Select Boundary Area - If Location within Boundary is enabled, this will show all available boundaries that can be selected.


Boundary Message - This shows the user a message regarding the boundary they have selected.


Display info. window - This is a web only feature that displays a window with appropriate information.


Zoom Level -This depicts how zoomed in or out the display info window is.


Show near by reports - This shows nearby SRs on the map.



Map overlay - This enables / disabled a map overlay on the location picker.
