 * **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](https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=)
   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.
