Anyone else notice how really particular the map search box is for typing in addresses? I had to set up all my initial businesses manually and so there were a couple hundred I manually entered and noticed it A LOT.
Many times you have to type the whole word out instead of the abbreviation? North instead of N or East instead of E or Avenue instead of Ave or Road instead of Rd??? This is really annoying and inconvenient and not the way Google maps search usually works.
And there were many many times that even when I typed the address out properly that it STILL didn’t like the address (and I double and triple checked them for their accuracy) and completely corrected them to some random other address when I clicked “map it”.
My concern is that customers are not going to have the patience for this or understand how to get their address properly set on this seemingly touchy system?
Is this a Google maps thing or a GD thing? Because it does seem like when searching on Google maps I’ve never had this kind of issues finding addresses.
There were times when I just had to pick a completely different address that I knew worked…set that on the map, then delete it and try the right one again and FINALLY it would work. This is quite a workaround and I don’t think it’s realistic to expect customers to figure it out.
Are others having this issue as well??
