Hello gynta,


I expect better report from you :).


What are you trying to search? Which text ...

:)

I have only the place name - no postal code - no province,...

Sometimes more Villages have the same name (eg Schneeberg, Berg, Neufeld, Hof..)

In google maps, i can choose. Locus take the first result and pointed me to the wrong place.

I just tried it with "Berg" and I get choose from five locations. This don't happen to you?


You use Menu > Search > By Address?

Locus with search engine google: no selectable results.

Hmm hard to say where is a problem. This is possible URL to get search results

  1. http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=schneeberg&sensor=true

And as you may see, result is also just one.


So it seems not to be a problem in Locus, but some limitation in geocoding over Google API
