That custom field is needed to store the latlon (coordinates) needed by Google Maps to put the marker (pin).

I don't know which codes you've removed and which codes you meant by 'the associated code'.

By default, it's a mandatory field (Everyone (required)).

If you don't want to include the maps, you can remove it. Remove all the js related to the google maps in your resrev_newthread/editpost_first templates. And remove the resrev_geo custom field. From there, you can try to modify your templates to build a new layout as your needs.

Then the resrev_location custom field should be displayed in your resrev_newthread/editpost_first templates. I hide the custom field because I want to put it outside the {$extra_threadfields} blocks. Look at the resrev_newthread/editpost_first templates. You should find the {$tfinput['resrev_location']} variable there. The Get Geo Location button and the textbox (where you should enter the location) is in this custom field (look at the Input Field HTML setting of this custom field).

Unfortunately, I can't see "anything" there.
