Website Google Map location issue on addresses with unit numbers & therefore mapping to PB incorrectly

[johnsisland]

We found some listings in PB show their Google Map location completely in the wrong location (fort lauderdale or south of Vero Beach). I do not know how PB is getting the Google Map information for its "pin" but I found it coincides with our listing's "detail page" map data - resulting in the same error. I seems to be all listings that have unit/apartment numbers in them.

For example: 100 Ocean Road #207 http://www.johnsislandrealestate.com/listings/100-ocean-road-207

I noticed: 1) when you look for this listing on the JIRE "Search Listings" main page results, the map with all our listing pins shows this listing in the correct location. However, 2) once you click on that listing's "Detail page" and click on the "map" icon link...it takes you to the error location in Google Maps as we are seeing in PB's map location.

Can you help fix this for both our website and PB? Is our website sending PB that Google Map location?

@johnsisland Google literally can't find these addresses.

For the map, I am using the GPS coordinates - not the actual address.

So, for whatever reason, Google doesn't recognize these addresses (even though we strip out the unit number).

So for example, the above example, Google has the address as this: https://www.google.com/maps/place/100+Ocean+Way+%23207,+Vero+Beach,+FL+32963/@27.6028737,-80.3362967,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x88de5891b949c53d:0xae3f82c1958b6d12!8m2!3d27.602869!4d-80.334108?hl=en

"Way" not "Road"

What do we do now? Why can one part of our map find the address but not the other? How did it get "way" when we have "road"? Thx

So, that's what I don't know.

Here's what I know:

1) On our map, I'm not using address to position the pins. I'm using the GPS coordinates, which I get from a freely available API 2) On Google's map (and PB's map), they're positioning the pins based on the actual address. 3) In some of those cases, Google doesn't recognize the address, so you're getting strange behavior

I tried to find stuff about correcting an address, but gave up after about an hour because I didn't find anything.

So, at this point, I can use all the time I allot to JIRE to trying to find a contact (or something) at Google to - I'm not even sure - correct and address, I guess?

The only other solution I can think of, and this would only fix the problem on Google's map - not PB's - would be to send the GPS coordinates instead of the address when clicked.

That would be kind of weird though, because it would look something like this: https://www.google.com/maps/place/27%C2%B042'31.6%22N+80%C2%B022'44.2%22W/@27.7087752,-80.3811363,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d27.7087705!4d-80.3789476

So you'd see the map with GPS coordinates instead of an address

Here's what I found:

When you are on Google Maps website and type in the address: 100 ocean road #207, Vero beach, FL 32963 it prompts you with three choices: 1) 100 ocean way address which is incorrect 2) the correct address using the town "Indian River shores" instead of Vero beach. 3) some other place

Number 2 is the technically correct address b/c JI is located in the town of Indian River Shores just outside Vero Beach. We've been using the Vero address for e writhing without issue. Maybe Google just can't recognize it.

Will you test using "Indian River shores" and see if that will work?

[johnsisland]

What data is our "Search Listing" main page Google map using vs the listing's "detail page"? The main "Search Listing" map is putting the pin in the correct location. The listing "detail page" is not.

[johnsisland]

You mentioned the "Search Listings" main page Google map uses GPS coordinates (vs address). The "Listings Detail" page uses the address to drop a pin, giving us issues b/c it actually wants to confirm which address it matches too, I think giving us the incorrect location. Let me know what you hear from Google, and in the meantime, what option(s) we have to correct this issue the best possible way so it is accurate on our website detail page and in PB. thanks

[johnsisland]

Did you find a solution to this issue?

[CodySwannGT]

@johnsisland I implemented what we talked about on the phone, where i'm changing the address to Indian River Shores.

That solves the Google problem and then you were going to tell PB what we did and see if they can fix on theirs

[johnsisland]

You didn't tell me the results of anything so I didn't know there was a fix. So I need to find out if PB can use "Indian River Shores" for the city from wherever they are pulling the Google Map pin data, correct?

[CodySwannGT]

yeah. exactly
