 * Hi Everyone,
 * I’ve just had an issue in Australia with localisation of post codes and some 
   city names and managed to fix it.
 * When you enter your Google Maps Javascript API V3 Key (public) on /wp-admin/options-
   general.php?page=wp_simple_locator, Simple Locator must just take that as a variable
   and add it to the normal Google maps link. As luck would have it, following that
   key in their code, you can add a variable to set a default country code. I added
   the following after my key: –
 * &region=AU
 * Once I had done that, my searches default to Australia, so it picks post codes
   and locations a lot better than the default.
 * To find your country code, use [http://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/country_code_list.htm](http://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/country_code_list.htm).
   Your code should be something like: –
 * YOUR_API_KEY&region=ES
    (this one is for Spain)
 * Hope this works for you.
