    creating a location type field saves the street address from the map marker, but I would like to also capture the lat-lon info as displayed on the map pin flag. I want to be able to then calculate the distance from location A to location B using my own formula.

    Is this possible?

    That wouldn’t really work because of the way the location is stored in the database. It’s stored as a combined latitude longitude value comma separated. I would have to either separate them or have some specific distance functions available. That’s not in the cards at the moment.

    Thanks,
