Address Filter

Exposed latitude/longitude proximity filters for Location views aren't very user friendly. This module replaces them with an arbitrary address field, providing users with Google-powered autocompletion. Queries are geocoded upon form submission and the resulting latitude and longitude are passed to the view result page as normal. Because the geocoding request is performed by the user's browser rather than the server, there is effectively no query limit.

Dependencies

Address Filter requires the Location and Views modules.

Recommended Modules

While not required to function, Address Filter pairs well with the Gmap module, providing an intuitive user interface for finding locations on a map.

Usage

Install and enable the module, then create a view with an exposed "Location: Distance / Proximity" filter set to an origin of "Static Latitude / Longitude." The filter will automatically be replaced with an open-ended field that accepts any address input.
