Hi,
about this problem, we are working on a new feature for Google Map field called "Seach position on Map" with 2 options:
- From Google Map Address
- From Custom Fields (and you can choose which custom fields will make up the address)
Now to get map you need to search location with Google search, this can have some limit, in the new release (I hope***) we want to add this feature to get map position from others fields, so for example in your case you can have these fields:
- Country (select)
- State (select)
- City (select)
- Zip code (text)
- Address (text or textarea)
and only when you fill all these information the map will appear with correct position.
Major Advantages:
- You can show your custom fields (Country,State,City,Address....) and not Google Map Address result (not precise and not standardized)
- You can use custom fields (Country,State,City,Address....) to make a search instead Google Map search
- Consistency between custom fields that compose address and Google Map
*** This is not a simple thing, so in not sure that next release will coming out with this feature, but surely we will
