Web 2 lead latitude and longitude values are not inserted

Question

I'm using a Web2Lead form, and on submit pass all input values. But when I try to insert latitude and longitude values, they are not inserted in SF record. I'm try to use different ways, but still no result. Debug log shows, that they are populated, but in SF I don't see them.

My Code Is

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

<form action="https://webto.salesforce.com/servlet/servlet.WebToLead?encoding=UTF-8" method="POST">

 <input type=hidden name="oid" value="MYORGID">
 <input type=hidden name="retURL" value="http://">

 <input type="hidden" name="debug" value=1>                              
 <input type="hidden" name="debugEmail" value="MYEMAIL">                                   

 <label for="first_name">First Name</label><input  id="first_name" maxlength="40" name="first_name" size="20" type="text" /><br>
 <label for="last_name">Last Name</label><input  id="last_name" maxlength="80" name="last_name" size="20" type="text" /><br>
 Latitude:<input  id="0BC1t000000c8iV" name="0BC1t000000c8iV" size="20" type="text" /><br>
 Longitude:<input  id="0BC1t000000c8iW" name="0BC1t000000c8iW" size="20" type="text" /><br>
 <input type="submit" name="submit">

</form>

I don't think this is possible for OOTB geocodes

1. Latitude and Longitude are geocode fields and meant to be derived using a service such as Data.com (from the Lead.Street, City, PostalCode, etc. fields)
2. The Web-to-lead HTML generation doesn't enable these fields to be generated
3. OOTB fields on W2L are referenced in the HTML by the API Name, not an Id yet when I try <label for="latitude">Latitude</label><input id="latitude" maxlength="40" name="latitude" size="20" type="number" /><br> the Latitude field is not populated in the resulting Lead

But for custom geocode fields, I created a field of type GeoCode Custom_Geocode__c with 6 decimal precision (I did not use hours/minutes/seconds)

Then I went to the W2L HTML generation page /lead/leadcapture.jsp and

• created HTML,
• saved into a file and then
• opened the file in the browser
• filled in the values (I used 56.7845 and 28.78661)
• clicked Submit

Result, custom geocode fields were displayed in the page layout.

Here's the HTML from W2L

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

<!--  ----------------------------------------------------------------------  -->

<label for="first_name">First Name</label><input  id="first_name" maxlength="40" name="first_name" size="20" type="text" /><br>

<label for="last_name">Last Name</label><input  id="last_name" maxlength="80" name="last_name" size="20" type="text" /><br>

<label for="email">Email</label><input  id="email" maxlength="80" name="email" size="20" type="text" /><br>

<label for="state">State/Province</label><input  id="state" maxlength="20" name="state" size="20" type="text" /><br>

Custom Geocode (Latitude):<input  id="0BC630000008YMf" name="0BC630000008YMf" size="20" type="text" /><br>

Custom Geocode (Longitude):<input  id="0BC630000008YMg" name="0BC630000008YMg" size="20" type="text" /><br>

<input type="submit" name="submit">

</form>

Important - the Ids of these custom fields MAY/WILL NOT be the same when you deploy the fields to your Production or Staging org. You need to recreate the W2L form (or edit it) using the field ids of the custom fields per org

The custom geocode fields to be visible to the running user (via Profile or permission set) that executes the W2L process. See Web-to-Lead | Default Lead Creator
