ParticipantHi
My client is interested in some kind of autocomplete address fields.I found you article about using Google aps API, and that works, but 2 questions:
1) Are we stuck with the address being in one field if we use that, or can it be pulled out into address 1, address 2, city, postcode?
2) If we wanted one of those methods where the user enters their postcode, then a new dropdown appears with all addresses in that postcode to pick from, is this possible, is it Google maps again or a Royal Mail thing? And same question as above, can it populate separate address fields.
Thank you

ParticipantThanks. This works for autocomplete, although the postcode is not included in the autocompleted field.

ParticipantIt seems to be a common problem looking through forums about google API. Maybe not for all postcodes.
Anyway we have gone with a UK Postcode API instead and that works much better. (https://addressian.co.uk/)
Thank you.
