 * While some organizations can use street addresses, ours uses gps coordinates.
   We have locations in wilderness areas and can only direct volunteers using lat,
   long. Do you have any plans to add this?

 * Thanks for reaching out [@sleahcim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sleahcim/).
   Unfortunately, we don’t have plans to support using GPS coordinates in the near
   future. However, could you cheat a little and put the latitude in the “Street
   Address” field and the longitude in the “City” field? For example, for the “Street
   Address” field you might write “41 24.2028” and for the “City” field you might
   write “2 10.4418”. You could potentially play around with other formats that 
   work with Google Maps by looking at the “Enter coordinates to find a place” heading
   on [https://support.google.com/maps/answer/18539?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en](https://support.google.com/maps/answer/18539?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en).
 * Let me know how that works for you and if you have any other questions.

 * Since we haven’t heard from you in a while I’m going to mark this ticket as resolved.
   As always is the case, let us know if you have any other questions.
