Glad you might have found a solution. The shortsightedness of the product for use in the UK where a small community can cross a boundary and cause these problems sucks
That’s why I ditched my evaluation of this solution and found a suitable alternative.
Sure – I verified I can enter the lat/long values to get the pin in the correct place.
But the address is incorrect. It’s using the Town and County values from the default location. As my default town is on a county border and my village in the adjacent county, just over a mile away, the displayed address shows wrong county. Default Town and County is ‘sticky’.
It really is a postcode lottery for UK users.
I just did a quick test.
If default location is Greater London I can put a pin anywhere between Chiswick (west) and Belvedere (east). That’s approx 28 km scope.
If default location is Tadley, Hampshire, I have at best 5km to play with.
Not fair.
I’m validating WPGeoDirectory for a business directory in the UK. Looking good until….
My default location is a small town only 2 miles max in diameter. So I can’t add businesses just a mile down the road.
Users are disadvantaged according to their postcode?
