Places disappeared when its Location Deleted

I accidentally deleted a Location and the two Places in that Location disappeared. Is this normal?

Thanks and regards.

I set as single default location “Roses, Catalunya, Spain” and I activated MultiLocation Extension to allow Neighbourhoods.

After adding some listings I have found that a second location “Rosas, Cataluña, Spain” appeared magically.

This second location was the one I deleted.

How is this possible?

“Roses, Catalunya, Spain” is in Catalan language.

That is possible if you let the Google API choose the location and you do not correct it by choosing from the existing places. But there can also be some other reasons, and these links will be helpful:

Thanks Guust!

I am experiencing other problems with the Google API.

I have found that it does not accept some adresses. For example:

a) Pere II, 78, Berga, Catalunya, Spain

gets automatically changed to:

b) Pere III, 2, Berga, Catalunya, Spain

I tried to manually move the pinpoint in the map from b to a, but it gets back automatically.

So no way to enter the correct adress.

The same happened for several other adresses.

Any idea about how to overcome this?

Thanks and regards.

As soon you have set the marker on the correct spot on the map, you can change the address field to anything you like. Just do not click “Set on map” again.

Thanks Guust. I see. Then you mean that Google suggestions have to be ignored, right?

What I do not understand is that Google actually suggests the right adress “Pere II, 78, Berga, Catalunya, Spain” but, as soon as it is selected, it is instantly changed to the wrong one “Pere III, 2, Berga, Catalunya, Spain” before being able to do anything else like clicking on the “Set on map” button or moving the pinpoint. Is this something that could happen? A Google error?

You do not have to ignore Google suggestions, but you can change the address field after setting the marker on the map.
You can set marker locations a number of ways:
1. drag the marker
2. enter lat and lng
3. use google suggestion
4. enter data yourself
You can change the street address field after that to anything (but not the other address fields) , as long you do not reset the map.
I checked that address and that is just some Google quirk I think. Look at the map and you will see that the street is called Carrer Pere III, according to Google.

It looks as it certainly was a Google quirk, as I have tried again and the right adress has been accepted remaining unchanged.

Another question: the messages of the enclosed screen capture attachments appear very often and I do not understand the reason, since I am introducing and / or selecting adresses suggested by Google all in the Catalunya region.

Any idea?

Thanks and regards once again.
