Google maps not picking up some location services.

[dann hanks]

Hi, my events map:

http://bubblerush.co.uk/events

is not showing results for the search near: ‘Taunton’

if you go to http://bubblerush.co.uk/events without searching and you scroll down about half way down the page on July 9 you will see TAUNTON BUBBLE RUSH, click into this and you will clearly see Taunton on the map, I have checked the edit venue too and Taunton is set as the City so I cant understand why it wont display.

any ideas?

thanks.

Hi Dann!

Thanks for reaching out to us!

I tried that myself and after some tests this is what I have found:

It seems that using “Taunton” is not specific enough to come up with results. This also happens searching for “Wellington”, which is also near that location. But you do get results if searching for “Bridgwater”.

Instead, if you search for “Taunton, UK” or “Wellington, UK” you get the expected results.

That behaviour is coming from the Google Maps API, which is what we use to search for location results. So there is really not much we can do about it because that is something we don’t have much control over.

I’m sorry I can’t be of much help here. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Best!

Victor
