To use the feature, open the :guilabel:`Settings` app, and, under the :guilabel:`Integrations`,
section, activate :guilabel:`Geo Localization`. Then, choose between using the OpenStreetMap or
Google Places API.
**OpenStreetMap**
OpenStreetMap is a free, open geographic database updated and maintained by volunteers. To use it,
select :guilabel:`Open Street Map`.
.. important::
OpenStreetMap might not always be accurate. You can `join the OpenStreetMap community
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/fixthemap>`_ to fix any issues encountered.
**Google Places API map**
The Google Places API map provides detailed info on places, businesses, and points of interest. It
supports location-based features like search, navigation, and recommendations.
.. important::
Using the Google Places API could require `payment to Google
<https://mapsplatform.google.com/pricing/>`_.
To use it, select :guilabel:`Google Place Map` and enter your :ref:`API Key
<address_autocomplete/generate_api_key>`.
