Hello,
I have tried using many different address, and always the map shows the US.

this current test I have added the address 7 lang house hartington road london sw8 2ht

strangly it shows the USA, but I have tried many different address and have been sure to deleted the google dir etc each time.

Can any one help to resolve this. It is usually very easy to apply the google map just cannot figure why not this time around. Please note I just installed the latest version of google map pro.

regards

It may be having trouble resolving the addresses you are using. Would it be possible to try using longitude and latitude instead? You can look that up by mapping the address on google. If that doesn't work for you I can try debugging more to see why the addresses aren't working.

Hi yea,
I have tried many different addresses which did work on your older Google map extension but not on this one for some reason. having tried longitude and latitude it works, but what I don't like is when it shows the map it does not show the address, It only show the coordinates.

For getting the corrodinates I followed this

You can edit the content window contents to show the address. What shows will be defaulted to be your entered values, but this is an editable section when you apply the map.

Some addresses may not work. The geocoding service is not perfectly up to date, so sometimes latitude and longitude are necessary if a particular address doesn't work.
