Hi. I posted another discussion on this a couple of months ago (but can’t find it on the new site!). The answer given was that there was nothing that could be done because of the way Google passes map information. That’s fine, but was after some advice about how I might be able to use the search feature better here in the UK…<\/p>\n
My problem is that on the map view, the “Near” search field is populated by cities in America first (when you enter a city like Cambridge and press ‘Find Events) and there is no scroll bar to go futher down the list to find ones in the UK (I presumed that I would get UK addresses listed first because of my geographioc location but this isn’t happening). Our site is a ‘What’s on’ guide to the East of England and so people need to search for cities like Cambridge or counties like Norfolk. Unluckily for me there are lots of other cities\/places in America for both these places and it’s impossible to do a search for these very important locations without adding UK at the end which seems very clumsy.<\/p>\n
Is there anything I can do to ensure the populated list puts UK places to the top? Failing that, is it reasonably easy to rename the labels ie change “Near” to “Your Postcode” as the Zip\/Postcode will work ok…<\/p>\n
