    If we do not show the map on the order page, it will not be shown on the edit order page on the administrator interface either.
    So:
    If the customer places an order BUT DOESN’T mark his location on the map (because I don’t force him to or I don’t show the map to the customer), then there is no map on the backend page either.

    I would like to buy the plugin, but I have no confidence. It would be important for me to see the map on the administrator page based on the address.
    The screenshot shows that some orders have a map, others don’t.

    Here is another picture that shows the problem:

    Question:
    How can I place the manually entered address on the map?
    If I press the “DETECT CURRENT LOCATION” button, it (if my browser allows it) tries to place my current location on the map. BUT I DON’T WANT THAT, but the given (handwritten) address.
    Is there a way to do this? Is there no button that places the entered address on the map?

    You can see that there is no map for any order like this:
    screen-3

    If I manually drag the map marker to an address, it is entered automatically in the form field, BUT IT’S WRONG!
    Look at the picture, write all the elements of the address in one field, City, Postal code and street number… You can clearly see how it is correct in the form.
    The page I’m testing is your demo pages:

    This doesn’t really work as it should.. unfortunately.

    Hi there,

    Let’s try to address your questions one by one as I’m a bit confused about some of them.

    1) “How can I place the manually entered address on the map?” – This is not possible in LPAC. The plugin will detect the location you select on the map and then input that data into the shipping/billing fields and you can then edit them as you wish. On a subsequent order, the address shown on the marker will be the one that was placed in the address field (Address 1) including any modification you made to it.

    If you make use of the Places Autocomplete feature then selecting an address from the dropdown suggestions would move the marker to the location on the map.

    2) “You can see that there is no map for any order like this:” – If there is no “View” button then it means that the map was not used for the order, as in there is no location data for the order so the button does not appear and the map will not appear on the order edit screen.

    3) “If I manually drag the map marker to an address, it is entered automatically in the form field, BUT IT’S WRONG!” – Can you please tell me what is wrong about the address in this screenshot? https://imgbb.com/7rkFbCL

    Note that the plugin works by detecting the customer’s location and then allowing them to move the marker if it’s not 100% accurate. Moving the marker would automatically fill in the shipping/billing fields with the address details but a customer can edit those address details if it’s not 100% correct, but the GPS coordinates will be present in the order so you can make your delivery/pickup.

    If a customer does not make use of the map, then there will be no coordinates so no map will show for the admin.

    Thank you for your quick reply!
    Entering the address like this in a single field is not good.
    You can see in the picture that ZIP, City, and Country would be separate fields.
    Thus, written in one field (the street address field), it cannot be used for me during delivery.
    I would need the customer to enter their address (separated in the appropriate fields) and then I can see it on a map in the order backend editor.
    If the customer is not requesting the order to their current place of residence?
    If you can’t drag the map marker exactly to your house? (it will be an incorrect house number…)
    I only wanted a map based on the customer’s address on the admin interface, I don’t even want to show the customer a map when placing the order.
    Thanks again, but I don’t think this plugin is for me. ??
    Here’s a picture of what is wrong about the address in this screenshot:

    Hi, unfortunately there’s no way currently to adjust the address that is entered into the address 1 field.

    Also, the only way to show the map on the admin screen but not on the checkout page would be to enable the “Places autocomplete” feature and choose the option to hide the map; it will hide on the checkout page but be visible on the order edit screen IF the customer made use of the places autocomplete feature by selecting their address from the dropdown, if they don’t, then no map will appear in the backend.

    The primary purpose of the plugin is to allow customers to select their location on the map and the store owner receiving that location so they know where to make their deliveries/pickups.

    If thats not your usecase then unfortunately the plugin might not be a right fit for you.
