Title: Locus Map 4 - using Google for Address Search?
Post by: cheesee on August 25, 2025, 23:25:10
Hi,

I just switched to version 4 and I'm quite disappointed with the online address search.
Version 3 allowed to use Google for address search, which was much better.
Is it possible to use Google in Version 4 as well?

Things that don't work with Grasshopper (just to note I'm currently in Germany, searching for addresses in Australia):
- Search for businesses (e.g. A.P Bakery doesn't find the correct result)
- Search for addresses doesn't work (e.g 80 Commonwealth Street Sydney does not work)

Thanks!

Workaround - search for POI in Google Maps then share with Locus.

@cheesee:
Enable online search (old) in Expert Settings.
Then you can select Google Search as the source in the global search.
