Geolocation control
The Geolocation control enables users to specify location either by clicking or tapping a link to locate their current longitude and latitude or by manually entering coordinates.
This control is supported in Nintex Mobile, except for noted fields.
Note: To use the "Use my location" functionality the client's browser needs to support the appropriate functionality and the use of the form needs to permit the form to use it. If the user's browser or the SharePoint site's master page has disabled HTML5 capabilities, then the user will need to specify the location manually.
