Hi

On this page bit.ly/2xDSNjX I have a map being loaded dynamically (there are numerous other 'sister' pages all with the same issue). The location marker on this map is several miles away from the actual location of the postcode.

So on google maps itself, using the postcode DT1 3FQ you get the actual location bit.ly/3bsxjVO

This image shows the difference between the scripts generated location compared to where it should actually be prntscr.com/s0y24r which, as you can see, is quite significant.

Just wondering if you know of any known issue regarding this and if so, what the solution would be - failing that let me know what else you might need to help solve the problem.

Many thanks

Jamie

Hello,
Probably entering just "DT1 3FQ" is not correct or specific enough when used in Google maps as it doesn't really find it where you need it when testing on google.com/maps:
prntscr.com/s13mz9

However, if you are more specific with the address like: "DT1 3FQ, UK" it works well:
prntscr.com/s13nkm

That's something really related to the Google maps services and not related to the extension ...

got it Teodor and many thanks, I didnt realise that you could combine other elements within the location area. Have done that and working great now

Have a great 'weekend'
