The events calendar map has a pin in the middle of ocean.

This pin is showing a conference in Texas. When I delete this event or remove location, another event takes its place. It seems that this pin is here to stay no matter what event locations I have

Please help me remove this incorrectly placed pin.

Hello Tristen

It looks like this might be an issue with Google Maps. https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/maps/jXyS0o2Uq38 shows a similar bug.

What is the address that this event should be at? Can you send me a link to the single event listing?

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

Hello Tristen

I followed the link out to Eventbrite and see the venue location as

Houston Heights City Hall & Fire Station
107 W. 12th St.
@ Yale Street
Houston, TX 77008.

Is that how your address is listed on this single event?

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

So I have it listed as Houston, TX. Which works find for all of the other
events listed in this way.

The problem is that when I take down this event(unlist it), the map pin
stays and shows another event in the middle of the ocean instead of this
one.

Hello Tristen

1) The format of the address used for the venue seems to be the issue here. Sometimes, the only thing that fixes this searching for the venue on Google and using the exact address format found there.
2) Something being off with the Google Map API key. Can you go through this guide: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/setting-up-your-google-maps-api-key/
3) As a last resort, could you try latitude and longitude for the venue? https://support.google.com/maps/answer/18539?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en

I am hoping one of these options will get you correct results.

Thanks
Courtney 🙂
