    hello
    sorry if the documentation is here but i cannot find it…

    when adding new listings, how can we add exact addresses, to include the road number?

    for example i type in the search bar “16 george road” and select george road in the google dropdown list, this centers the pin on the map and adds lat and long but also changes the address field to just “george road”

    is there any way to prevent this behaviour and preserve the road number? thanks!

    just to mention, the example on https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/places-autocomplete-addressform works just fine, so when i search for “16 george road” that exact option shows up in the dropdown menu and then is preserved when i select that option

    Hi There,

    Let us know, which map are you using, Google Map or OpenStreetMap?
    I searched “16 George Road” in address and selected results from autocomplete and there remains address “16 George Rd”. See video capture here https://ppldb.com/kiran/gd/16-George-Road-20170919.webm

    FYI you can also edit address in address field after after the result selected from autocomplete results.

    Let us know.

    Hi,

    So you have a search problem for address “16 George Road” with OpenStreetMap?
    Google map & OpenStreetMap may return different results for same address search. On selecting the result from autocomplete search it sets the address depends on what he get from Google/OpenStreetMap .

    Let us know
