Hi - The address field is amazing and has become much simpler on v3.0.13. However, there is another problem which has come up. If there is a business or address which is not listed or does not show up, then it is not possible to locate on the map.
For example, if I am searching for Vi Spark Technologies in the "search address" then it does not suggest anything. However, it is listed on Google Maps. Now the problem is that if there are such entities, then it will be impossible to display them on the map. Can a "Locate Address" feature be added?
With this feature, the address could be entered and then located. Also, if one enters the longitude and latitude then one should be able to locate it on the map. Could not see if this is possible.

These features would be of immense help. Thank you

Cheers!
Kirti

=> we use google map api ... we can't add city inside but you can allow lon and lat editing in field config

FLEXIcontent is Free but involves a very big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite being huge extension) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

Thanks for the reply. The earlier versions would allow me to add an address and then I could locate it on the map. This one doesn't allow it. For many addresses which are not there on Google maps, it would mean that I can never use the Map feature for these. Even those which are available on Google Maps, doesn't show up on the search for this.

The other issue that is there, that if I edit some changes in any of the fields and save, then the data has to be re-entered again for address (even it was filled in earlier). While the progress on V3.0.13 has been spectacular, there are many of these small bugs. At the current stage, the International address field and maps in 3.0.13 is completely unusable. Request urgent attention to this.

Cheers!

Hello

the search feature is still there

don't you get a property (text box) "Search address" ?
(which also has google-address autocomplete)

Yes I get a search address box but it is not helpful for the following reasons:
- Not all addresses are available on Google Autocomplete. Some addresses which are available on Google Maps, do not autocomplete in this search box.
- If it does not show up in the search box then there is no way that you can show that on the map. Earlier, if you entered the address or the Lat/Long, it could be located on the map
- Even if it is available on autocomplete, if I want to make a change in any of the fields and then save, the value disappears from the address and one has to enter the address again.

Cheers!

Hi - Request urgent issue please as this issue is a major bottleneck for users of Flexicontent if they want to use the international address field.
I will try to explain the problem in more details here. I have taken an example of Cafe Pascucci which is a local cafe in Bangalore.
Google Maps - I searched for Cafe Pascucci on Google maps and it is available. Please refer to the image "Cafe-pascucci".
Flexi Autocomplete - When I enter Cafe Pascucci in the international address field in Flexicontent, it is not available. Please refer to image"flexi-autocomplete"
Location after saving - After manually entering the address and saving, the location does not display on the map.Please refer image "flexi-map".
Btw, I am now using FLEXIcontent v3.0.14-rc2a for J3.x as after upgrading to Joomla 3.5 version v3.0.13 stopped working and showed an error.

I hope this illustrates the problem and would request this bug to be fixed immediately

Cheers!
Kirti
