I've added help text to my geolocation field but it's not showing in the node edit form.

Same issue

This is quite important because although the module provides some basic help, there will often be a need for extra information to help users.

Hi Guys

Latest dev does print the help. Problem is by default multi-value fields get the help printed after every widget, which is not ideal.

This should be fixed inside a theme, and not inside the module.

I know this issue is closed, but I thought it would be better to add my comments here rather than opening a new similar issue?

I am having the same problem where the help text doesn't appear. It does appear if I use the latitude and longitude widget, but it does not appear if I use the Google map widget, which is the one I want to use.

I wanted to give some instructions to users on what this widget was for and how they should be using it.

I was using the 7.x-1.4 version, and tried using the dev version instead, but this didn't make any difference.

Same as bmango here.

Agree with the previous posters in that the Help Text is definitely needed. For site builders putting a site together with this module, it shouldn't be expected that they will know how to override or adjust the admin theme CSS or via a hook With all the development that goes into this module, would it not be the most efficient use for everyone to quickly add a few lines of code to the module for displaying the help text area properly? From what I can see in the source code, the help text is not being displayed whatsoever.

Would be very appreciated by the community if that could be added in, especially given the request is 3 years old. Thanks in advance for anyone's help with this.
