Autocomplete address search

Open timcknowles opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

I have noticed that certain UK address which start with name instead of a number have the name stripped out.

For example

The Royal London Hospital Whitechapel Rd, Whitechapel, London E1 1BB or Natural History Museum Cromwell Rd, Kensington, London SW7 5BD.

Is it possible to have the address field autocomplete to allow choosing of the correct address with the name not removed?

Many thanks

I did a quick look and haven't found any code that strips any part of the address. I think Institution / building name isn't part of the standard postal address (at least for google) If I search your example on Google maps the actual address doesn't contains institution name image

If you want to enhance standard address with institution / building name I suggest to have a look into google map API if that information is provided (I haven't check that).
