Great questions. Can you think of an alternative way to create my map? Sure. A workaround for your situation would be to alter the newSearch method we've already tweaked. Specifically, you want to change the line reading this.gs.execute(this.searchForm.input.value); to read more like this:
this.gs.execute(this.searchForm.input.value+' Football Ground'); How long does it take to have an issue resolved? Are we talking weeks? Well, the answer to that can depend on a number of things. As I am not privy to the dev team's workload or other considerations, etc., I can't give any good estimate. That said, since this is just a tweak to the JS, I would not think that it would take all that long. Until we get confirmation that the issue is fixed, Jeremy R.
