WebGMaps Geocoding Default Country

Hi,


We are using the Geocoding lookup but have a query regarding where the default country is being taken from.  

As an example, if I search for "Birmingham" it will locate me with "Birmingham, Alabama" (in the US).  If I am more specific and enter "Birmingham, UK", then it locates the UK version.  - Is there a setting where I can specify the default locale/region to be UK...?

I know I could (in theory), append ", UK" as required; but just wondering if there is a setting I have missed.

Many thanks,
Ian.

If you refer to WebGMapsLookupEdit, you can use the WebGMapsLookupEdit.LocationBias to set the coordinates in which area Google needs to look for an address lookup.

Great; thanks for the quick response.

This works - and also helped me locate your KB article below (now I know it is locationBias).
