    hi, the search near section where you type the name of a town is great, but if you dont type the name of the town perfectly it wont show up. For example, is a town that is officially called “Rincon de Guayabitos”. But everyone just calls it “Guayabitos”.

    If i type guayabitos, it does not pull up rincon de guayabitos, but it really does need to.

    Any help appreciated.

    It would still be nice if that search bar could be smart enough to pick up the Rincon de Guayabitos if someone typed in guayabitos though. Maybe in another version of the plugin.

    Unless Google Maps engineer find a way to read a user’s mind, that’s never going to happen for obvious reasons.

    Sorry.
