Directions Panel Field

Last modified: December 5, 2025

Introduction

The Directions Panel Field in Formidable Geolocation displays the step-by-step route details generated by the Directions Field. This read-only field presents driving directions, turn-by-turn instructions, and other route information in a clean, structured format directly inside your Formidable form.

The Directions Panel Field requires no additional configuration of its own. After adding it to your form, simply link it to a Directions Field, and it will automatically display updated navigation steps whenever the route is recalculated.

  • Displays formatted driving directions and navigation steps produced by the Directions Field.
  • Updates dynamically when users adjust the origin, destination, or travel settings.
  • Works as a passive, display-only component, no user input is required.

Setting Up and Using the Directions Panel Field

Follow these steps to properly configure and use the Directions Panel Field in your form:

  1. Add a Directions Field:
    Insert the Directions Field into your form. This field performs the actual route calculations between selected locations.
  2. Add the Directions Panel Field:
    Drag the Directions Panel Field into your form using the Formidable builder. This is where the turn-by-turn instructions will appear.
  3. Link the fields together:
    Open the settings for your Directions Field and assign the Directions Panel Field under the Directions Panel Field dropdown. This tells the Directions Field where to output the navigation steps.
  4. Test the form:
