    <p>The Google places (<em>google.maps.places.Autocomplete</em>) class that is available to use by linking an input box into a drop down list to display addresses from is causing me trouble when searching for establishments</p> <p>I can generate this issue on the Google example page as well at:</p> <p><a href="https://google-developers.appspot.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/places-autocomplete" rel="nofollow">google places example</a></p> <p>I use this feature in my code much like the example above by including a reference to the places API:</p> <pre><code> &lt;script src="//maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&amp;libraries=places" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>The problem seems to be mainly around [Establishments]. But not just any establishments. It only occurs on some now and again.</p> <p>The one I have particular issue with at the moment is when I type in the Name <strong>United campervan rentals</strong>, and select the resulting drop-down. The address that is returned in the autocomplete.getPlace() command is not address I would expect. The address returned is the middle of the bounds set when creating the autocomplete object. </p> <p>However as per maps.google.co.nz, I an expecting an address of <strong>3 Kingsford Smith Place</strong>.</p> <p>I've tried it in a number of browsers including IE 8, 9, Chrome, FF 3.6. All produce the same result. I've also tried at different times of the day and the same result.</p> <p>I had posted this on the Google API forum but read an article that they are moving their Q&amp;A to SO, so as long as I add the appropriate tags someone may be able to offer some sort of insight. I'm really hoping this is the case. Cheers.</p>

    1. COI've seen this problem popup just now testing with IE9. I haven't been able to reproduce it on chrome or firefox. What browser(s) are you using?

    2. COFrom memory I believe it was FF 3.6 I was using. I think I may have tried it IE 9 as well and got the same symptons.

    3. COSomebody in our team just reproduced this on chrome too. I suspect it's a timing issue; hitting submit before the place_changed event is fired. I am adding a waiting mechanism before submit to see if the problem disappears.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
