When I search for f.ex. "Brongras 22", the auto suggest correctly finds the location in Rotterdam, Netherlands. After I select the auto suggest result, it opens a location in Austria that is completely irrelevant, although it does contain some matching characters with the street name - Brandstraße, Austria. I suspect it found closest similar looking result to me, and not the actual result I searched for and selected.

Here is a demonstration:

It should open the location of an actual address that I searched for, that is even shown on the auto suggest list (Rotterdam, Netherlands).

Now if I move the map over Netherlands and search for the same address, it does actually open the correct location, but it should do it no matter where I am located or where the map is centered when I start the search.

If I center map over China, it will not even find "Brongras 22" unless I also enter Rotterdam, once I select the auto suggest item, it opens some random "E.B. Brongers at Barkmolenstraat 22, Groningen, Netherlands.

So results vary based on where you have the map opened.

I am using Chrome 121.0.6167.184 in Incognito mode on a Mac.

    This is still an issue.

    If I select the auto suggested "Brongras 22" result, it will open unrelated "Brongers Holding B.V.
    Ligusterhof 9, 1087 SK Amsterdam, Netherlands" at completely different address, even different town. However if I press enter while searching (not selecting auto suggested result), it will display a location that is close to the map location where I had map open.

    These are both different, and wrong results.

    It's all pretty random depending on where you had map open at the time of the search. I recommend you try from Venice, Italy.

    Edit:

    I have compared a few maps:

    • Google Maps works perfectly, clicking on auto suggest shows the correct location, and pressing enter on input opens the correct one as well
    • Bing Maps works correct for clicking on auto suggested location, but doesn't find anything if you press enter
    • Apple Beta Maps (web) works correct for clicking on auto suggested location, but opens entirely wrong location if you press enter
    • OpenStreetMap doesn't have auto suggest, but pressing enter opens correct location
    • Here WeGo works correct for clicking on auto suggested location, and pressing enter on input shows multiple results, the first among them the correct location (clicking it does navigate to the correct location)

    Here I would suggest that you attempt to open the first auto suggested result if one is found, when pressing enter, as the auto suggested location is the correct one.
