Feature like Auto-complete address field will be very useful for both site owners and business registering for the first time.

 

In today's society, NO ONE likes filling forms because sometimes is hard to remember spelling of addresses or little things like the local city where the address is registered.

 

If Jreview could include a a google APi Geolocation field that says: Just start typing here

 

The user could type anything, It could be: a full address, a city, just the zip/postal code, or even the name of a place.

 

The the full address is automatically populated on the address field. Please find example below and the result.
