 * [@tin_soldier](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tin_soldier/) Thanks for your
   feedback! It looks like the maps API isn’t recognizing some addresses, which 
   can cause that error to appear. Changing the mode from “place” to “search” seems
   to solve this issue. See [this GitHub commit](https://github.com/ThemeBoy/SportsPress/commit/d89d458cc356555b68d5562cb419be7ddee253f9).

 * Thanks [@brian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brian/) but I just tried 
   that fix, even replaced the whole venue-map.php with the new commit but I still
   get the same error.
 * I’ve also tried just adding New York as an address to eliminate the address as
   the problem.

 * Hi All,
 * I have looked in to this and have a workaround / fix.
 * Firstly the code is referring to the wrong array in the database. So you will
   need to update venue-map.php
 * line 16 should read:
 * >  $address = sp_array_value( $meta, ‘sp_address’, null );
 * Next!!
 * When you ad a venue and initially set the location it clears the address field!
   Once the venue has been entered go back in to it and paste the address of your
   venue without clicking on the dropdown list or hitting enter. Making sure the
   address is still displayed in the field scroll down and click Update!
 * This should now show the address next to your venue when you look at your list
   of venues.
 * It would be useful if one of the Authors could fix this bug in the next release!

 * I’m having the same issue even with the new commit, is there any update to this?
