When a user submits a form, the addon captures their location data behind the scenes:

Metadata: Stores specific coordinates ($\text{Lat/Long}$) which can be exported via CSV or sent to third-party CRMs.
To use the advanced features, you must connect a third-party service in WPForms > Settings > Geolocation:

Mapbox: Requires a Public Token. Mapbox is often favored for its generous free tier (up to 50,000 map loads/month).
