Hi, we have purchased and integrated the store locator in one of our nopcommerce (v3.6) project.

The search available on Google map in a plugin doesn't shows the accurate results compare to that of google map site.

Example:

In Google map available on Google site, if I put "2375" in search location and have enabled use my location.
The Google map shows below list of locations which are nearby...
"2375 E Letterly St"
"2375 East Letterly Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States"
"2375 Orthodox Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States"
"2375 Duncan Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States"

Whereas the store locator shows the location far away (some are in other countries).
Below is the list of location presented in store locator on search of "2375"

"2375 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC, United States"
"2375 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON, Canada"
"2375 Market Street, San Francisco, CA, United States"
"2375 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, FL, United States"
"2375 El Camino Real, Atascadero, CA, United States"


Is there is a way to make it more accurate. Since it is confusing our customer, could you please look into it ?

Thanks,

DK

Hi,

I looked in the code and we don't have any custom logic behind what results will be returned. The Google API is responsible for returning the results based on the what you have entered in the search box.

From what I have read, the google maps and this search is completely different services. That's why you see different results.

Hope this helps!

Hi, 

This is the Google API which the Store Locator plugin is using: Autocomplete Search Box.

I hope this helped!
