FAQ
-
Is this plugin free?
-
Yes. But you can only use it with a properly licensed version of the Geo Controller.
-
Why must I use Google Map functionality?
-
Plugin in the background using Google services to provide proper GPS information.
-
Why does the plugin not work on my site?
-
There is few reasons:
- Your Geo Controller license might be invalid or inadequate
- Your Google Map API Key may be invalid or improperly set up
- Your Google Account may have restrictions on your domain or not be whitelisted
- Your site may be hosted on a local computer (localhost)
- Your visitors might not have GPS enabled or location tracking disabled on their mobile devices.
-
Geo Controller GPS extension slows down my site?
-
NO, Geo Controller GPS extension uses the asynchronous data reading from API services.

Why I can’t use GPS on the monthly license or limited lookup?

It is very complicated to get GPS information and this data is sensitive. We must provide secure and unrestricted access to this information and therefore only annual licenses may use this information.
