Hi all,

Can anyone explain to me why when I move the google map marker (after typing a town into autocomplete to set the initial marker), I am unable to move the marker away from roads.

What I am trying to do is get the user to type in a nearest town to set the marker close to their event and then need them to move the marker to their exact event location e.g. a beach, field, etc...

Unfortunately when I try this the marker always snaps back to the nearest road.

Thanks in advance.

Dave

Hello David,

That is a Google Limitation when you are using Driving Directions.
Others - Walking and Bicycling are in a beta faze. You can try those if you like.

Hi Miroslav,

Currently I do not use the directions extensions. This is happening purely with the ajax autocomplete and google map extensions. Are you recommending I procure the directions extension to implement the walking feature?

Regards

Dave

Hello David,

I'm sorry I didn't realize.

Well the limitation comes from google itself. If you try the very same thing on maps.google.com you will experience same restriction.
