    Problem is this plugin automatically takes latitude & longitude based on address line1, city and country. so, the location goes wrong.

    When I go to Google Maps and get correct latitude & longitude and paste it in the properties of store location, it shows me correct location.

    Please advice me how can I get correct location in the plugin Map automatically when I insert address line1, city and country.

    Ambadnya,

    Using the address, city and county to get the coordinates is not a problem, there’s no other way to do it.

    What likely happened is that Google didn’t recognize the exact address you provided, and therefor misplaced the marker.

    What’s the exact address you filled in? You can check the response from the Geocode API yourself on this page. Just fill in the address, city and country after the address= and submit the page.

    Ambadnya(Thanks) for the reply Tijmen Smit!

    Example, I am trying to get below address:
    “Sharda Mandir Highschool, Lalchowky, Agra Rd., Kalyan(W), Dist.-Thane, Kalyan ,Maharastra,India”

    But unfortunately, for this address, the plugin gave me coordinates
    Latitude: 19.240331
    Longitude: 73.130539

    Actually, for this address, correct Google Maps coordinates are:
    Latitude: 19.2460419
    Longitude: 73.1233872

    Hence I have posted the question.

    What more I have found is when I put following address:
    “Lalchowky, Agra Rd., Kalyan(W), Dist.-Thane, Kalyan ,Maharastra,India”
    plugin gave me below coordinates:
    Latitude: 19.24641
    Longitude: 73.123506

    which are near to the acyual location.
