This worked for me. Be sure to set your Google Maps API key beforehand if you have not done so already.

replace “pickup_” with your custom field keys.

/**
 * Save Google Map field data to custom fields in ACF
 *
 * This snippet hooks into the ACF save process to extract the data
 * from a Google Map field and save it to custom fields for address,
 * city, state, zip code, latitude, and longitude.

 * @param int $post_id The ID of the post being saved.
