I am trying to use the new Toolset Maps function to add accurate address data to custom posts.
I've added the new "Address" field to the custom fields for my CPT.
I'm finding it difficult to pin down the exact addresses.
The auto-complete is sometimes helpful, sometimes not (I appreciate this is Google's data and out of your control).
When the red marker appears on the map, one naturally expects to be able to click and drag it to the desired location, and for this location to then populate the lats/longs etc.
However, when I do drag the marker around, it always just resets to the nearest Town, in a very non-specific way. Even if I zoom in to the point where you can see the individual establishments' own Google Map listings, you cannot just move the marker on to them to make sure that the address for that specific place is logged.
Any advice please?
Am I missing something obvious? (It wouldn't be the first time..)
It doesn't seem to work anywhere, on any address, unless you're lucky enough that whatever you're looking for comes in the auto-complete. Most of the time it does not come up in the auto-complete, and so the obvious thing to try to do is to manually click and drag the red marker to drop it on the actual desired location.
Wherever you drop the red marker, it never selects a specific address. Instead it will zoom out and choose the city or even the county.
This happens, as I mentioned, even if you zoom right in on a very specific property e.g. a business that exists within the google map (and yes, I've tried it with business I can find on maps.google.com)
It would be useful if these two things were possible. (The first is absolutely essential in my view.)
a) drag and drop the red marker, to return the lat/long of the chosen point.
b) where the location already exists in google maps (e.g. a business), there could be an option to right click > use this address.
Without at least a) working, I'm not sure how anyone can use this to gather address data, because it's impossible to specify an actual address.
Unless I'm missing something??
I'm seeing this issue on a live site and on a totally clean, local test site.
I'm surprised it hasn't been reported before, as it seems so crucial.
Without the ability to drag the marker to an exact point and have that position logged, it's not possible to use the plugin in a meaningful way.
