The geo stamp could be one of the most important data you can add to your form. Each time your form is opened, it adds geolocation information, stamping each response with longitude and latitude data depending on the responder’s location.
Most of the data you collect will need some verification or associated information to corroborate what you have received from your form users.
The geo stamp provides a way to query the validity of the supplied information and allows you to visualize the distribution of your form using the geographic information stamped on your form.
To add a geo stamp to your form, you have to use the Geo Stamp Widget as shown below:
- Go to the Widgets tab in the Form Elements panel.
- Search for Geo Stamp and add it to your form.
The Geo Stamp information will look like the following:
Note
Most browsers will prompt users to allow the form to access their location. If the user blocks the request, the Geo Stamp widget will only send you the Date and Time of the submission. See the following links from Firefox, Chrome, and Safari.

How to ensure that the geo stamp is shown on the thank you page? The site demo shows that but not the video above.

we have added Geo Stamp to one of our forms, we have one iphone 11 that will the Geo stamp does not come through, Murphy's law applies and it is the one phone we need it on. As it works brilliantly on our personal phones we believe it is an issue in a setting somewhere, would appreciate any guidance you could provide.
