    Hi there

    I’m using the GMap – Home Page widget for my GD Homepage Top Section but the map always focuses somewhere above North West London and there doesn’t seem to be a way I can control this as I have multi-locations enabled. Without multi-locations I could set a default location.

    I configured SSL and location switching seems to work correctly.

    The GMap – Listing Page widget works as expected, with the map zooming/changing location to match the search listings.

    But I would expect the main homepage map to zero-in on the chosen location when selected.

    If my location is ‘/location/germany/’ shouldn’t the map update to focus on Germany?

    Hi there,

    Could you try switching “On” this option in GD > Advanced search settings >
    First time load redirect > Redirect to default location (on first time load users will be redirected to default location) and see if it corrects the zoom location? If it doesn’t work, please share WP temp admin access to your site so we can take a better look. You can post the details here using the private reply option below.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for your help.

    I’ve experimented with the setting but without success. It sounded like a promising solution.

    I tried dumping cookies on Chrome and Safari

    Also when I visit ‘/location/me/’ the map doesn’t centre on my location.

    Ok thanks I see the problem now. Wasn’t sure how you’d identified the listings.

    So the location searches are based the profile Country, Region, City fields not the Geo data.

    I hadn’t been careful enough setting a suitable city in a small number of cases when uploading data. These then appeared in the ‘London’ search and through the map off-centre.

    Thanks for your help!

    Could you remove the examples from the last post to hide my URL? 😉
