I love cats! 🙂
You can’t do that natively with Airtable, but that is super easy to setup with either:
(1) Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable
or
(2) JotForm
Both of these form apps offer the 2 features you’re looking for:
(a) automatic filling of addresses pulled from Google Maps,
and
(b) Automatic GPS location coordinates of the user’s current location.
If you're trying to decide between Fillout or JotForm, I would highly recommend using Fillout, because Fillout is 100% free and it directly communicates with Airtable in real-time.
Fillout also offers hundreds of features that Airtable’s native forms don’t offer, including the ability to update Airtable records from a form, display Airtable lookup fields & Airtable rollup fields & Airtable attachments & formulas on forms, dynamically & conditionally filter linked record fields by any values that you would like, perform math or other live calculations on your forms, accept payments on forms, create multi-page forms with conditional paths, create new linked records on a form, and so much more.
And all of this is in addition to Fillout's address features that I outlined above.

Thanks Scott!! I’ll look into this. I did add both extensions the other day but couldn’t figure out how to get it to work. I’ll delve deeper!
You’re welcome! Note that these are not Airtable extensions — these are separate websites that you would need to use. There are no Airtable extensions that would do what you want to do, because Airtable doesn’t make extensions available to the general public.
