    How do you pick a place?

    Nice work!

    However maybe I'm just too bleery eyed from programming, but how do I select a place with this widget? I expected you'd just be able to click or double click the map or something, but it doesn't seem to work when I try that...

    If I search it works, but also that zooms out to the world level so it seems very inconvenient - and what if I want to pick a place that doesn't have a street address - like a ski run at a ski resort for example? I need a control that people can just click a spot on the map, done.

    Thanks and sorry again if it's a stupid question. Too many lines of code today! :-(

    Regards,

    - Brian

    Hmm... actually doesn't seem to save the place even if I pick by search. I'm running 4.7.0 - perhaps it's not supported yet?

    Hi Brian,

    Once you get the marker where you want, you need to click the marker, then click "Save this Location" or "Use this location" (cant remember what it's called), then it will populate the Lat/Lng into the disabled textbox.

    There's also another thread where someone else suggested a better UI, might add any input there :)   http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/google-maps-datatype/feature-suggestions/21678-Better-UI-around-selecting-location
