 * Hello,
 * I just installed the plugin and whatever i do the start point is somewhere in
   africa. I have unchecked the option to attempt to auto locate the user with no
   luck. I have filled the option Start point. When i go there i get the drop down
   and i see addresses suggested by google.
 * Can you help?

 * What is the exact address you used, then I can check if the Google API recognizes
   it or not. Does the auto complete find whatever you try to enter?
 * You can open the /admin/templates/map-setting.php and search for ‘wpsl-latlng’
   and then remove the type=”hidden”. Then it should show the latlng input field.

 * Every address i used had no result. I even got it copy paste from google maps
   website. When i changed the hidden to text and then added the address again everything
   worked perfectly.
