Frequently Asked Questions
What is Nearest Locations for Ninja Forms?
Nearest Locations automatically finds the closest store, office, service area, pickup point, or destination based on a user’s address or current location.
How are nearest locations calculated?
Locations are first matched using straight-line distance and an optional search radius. You can then use the Google Routes API to refine qualifying results using real-world travel distance and duration.
What location sources can I search?
You can search manual location lists, CSV-formatted data, or database tables containing latitude and longitude columns.
Can I display results on a map?
Yes. Display matching locations on an interactive Google Map with markers, clustering, and location details.
Can selected locations populate form fields?
Yes. Selected locations can populate configured Ninja Forms fields with addresses, coordinates, identifiers, and other information provided by the location source.
Can I control how nearest locations are calculated?
Yes. Configure the search radius, result limit, measurement units, travel mode, route preferences, and optional Routes API route-matrix refinement.
Do I need a Google Maps API key?
Straight-line and radius matching can work from existing coordinates without a Google API request. The appropriate Google Maps Platform APIs are required when using address lookup, maps, geocoding, or travel-distance and duration refinement.
Which plan includes Nearest Locations?
Nearest Locations and the Nearest Locations Panel are included in the Agency plan.
