Interface Configuration

Autocomplete Settings

You can customize the autocomplete behavior using the interface settings. The configuration accepts standard Google Places Autocomplete parameters as documented in the Google Maps JavaScript API Reference.

Example Configuration:

{
    "includedRegionCodes": [
        "us"
    ]
}

This example restricts autocomplete results to US addresses only.
