How to Enable Geo Stamping on Your Forms

January 13, 2025

The Geo Stamp is a valuable data point for your form. Each time it’s opened, it automatically adds geolocation data, stamping responses with longitude and latitude based on the responder’s location.

This feature helps validate the information you collect and allows you to visualize response distribution geographically.

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.
