    Hi,
    I have my maps setup and everything seems to be in working order.
    But, I am unable to find my location.
    When I search it shows me results in Ontario somewhere in America I think.

    Is there somewhere I need to configure a location setting or seomthing?
    The autocomplete works and the maps works just not finding the mp results I want

    Hi Garth,

    Can you please let me know the address that you want to search? And the map type, Google Map or OSM?

    Hi Hi,
    So I am using a Google map field.
    However I am now receiving a different error. No results found when I type.

    I have entered my API key and all seems to be configured ok.
    But the auto complete returns No results found when I type.

    Hi,

    It looks like there is an issue when setting up the API key. On my demo site, I can search with the keyword Gauteng as well, see this screen record https://monosnap.com/file/hSDYVk4LkTFjTxs2rGEfpZ9BsUo0JZ

    Hi Again, so I used an OSM Map and I see the results are now showing.
    But I want to use a google maps input field.

    Why when I use the google maps do I get no results found. I have configured my api key?

    I just get no results found when I try using the google maps.

    Also if I make the map address field for open street maps for multiple pin locations
    cloneable. (The text field)
    It no longer shows addresses.

    Hi,

    For the Google Map: you can try to open the Console tab in the Inspect tool of the browser to check if there is any JS error log.

    For the OSM: the map field does not support adding multiple addresses (pin locations) to a map. You can follow this article to know how to display multiple addresses on a map https://metabox.io/display-all-listings-on-a-map

    I have been using this link as a reference.
    https://metabox.io/display-all-listings-on-a-map

    But the google maps shows me no results found if I search anything. So it's not working.
    And I have, configured the API

    So I implemented this functionality with Google Maps on another website.
    Seems the issue was that I needed to enable google api billing.
