Allowing readers to add locations to a StoryMap

I am working on a story map and I'm wondering, can I let users add their favorite location to a map?

Yesterday I was exploring Survey123 and it very easy to use. However, I noticed that the map plugin won't capture the name and the geo coordinates. Is that accurate? Is there a setting I can capture both? I'm trying to have a user enter business name and have it populate. I would like to have them only enter it once and not have a text field as well.

@JeffreyBorofsky -- Sorry, I'm not sure about that. Unless someone who sees this thread happens to know, you'd probably have better success asking that question over on the Survey123 questions board.
