What zip code search doesn’t work?

If you for a second enable the ‘Force zipcode only search:’ on the WPSL settings page, does that work better?

Yes I tried but it doesn’t change.
It doesn’t work accurately, for example, I live near the sea, but it locates my position right in the middle of the sea.

The geolocation itself can in rare cases by inaccurate, but this is not something the store locator itself can fix since the data comes from the browser itself.

If you try it through a VPN, or through a different network ( wifi / phone ) does that change anything?

If you search for another zip code, that does show more accurate results?

The same problem occurs from any device.
At the time of the first page load and the first geolocation the position is perfect, but if I perform a new search after modifying some parameters the position becomes wrong.
But can the location be automatically identified only via zipcode? Is it not possible to use more specific values such as latitude and longitude or simply via the street?

At the moment, yes, but this will change with the next update. Problem is that it sometimes not so accurate, and this might be confusing for users if they see ‘street a’, whereas they actually are on ‘street b’.

What’s the value that shows up on page load, and what are the values you set it to make the search return inaccurate results. Then I can try and replicate it.

Can I send screenshots? so as to show more clearly what happens
