Visitor IP information for Google Maps

    Team,

    We understand that the WP Google Map plugin does not directly share any information with Google, however, the plugin does make use of the Google Maps API and in doing so, for certain features such as Geolocation as an example, the Google Maps API requires a users IP information in order to make use of the Geolocation features.

    Can someone let us know if the specific Google Maps JavaScript API makes use of Visitor IP information for its feature?

    If yes, is there any way that we can avoid usage of Visitors’ IP or implement any NAT solution from this info being exposed? Will it work if we block the IP from being shared?

    Regards,
    Vishnu

    Hello,

    For the Geolocation feature, e.g getting the user’s current location, we’re explicitly taking grand from the users otherwise there is no feature that usages visitor’s IP Information.

    Thanks
