Restricting Google Maps to local area


Recommended Posts

I have a delivery job and I use my Liquid E for navigation constantly, but it's really irritating when I'm trying to search for an address and it's coming up with stuff on the other side of the country or other side of the world. Anyone know of a way to force the search to restrict to a given radius? 20 miles or so would be ideal.

I've been searching for something off and on for months and not found anything. Seems like pretty basic functionality...

You can always limit by city / region / country or the like, for example

richmond street, toronto

richmond street, ontario

richmond street, canada

Which is only some what effective and you have to type it in every time. The city I live in, Victoria, shares its name with half a dozen other cities, so I have to type in victoria british columbia, and sometimes google maps won't recognize a street on the outskirts as being in victoria, it'll only locate it it if you put in the appropriate district (langford, colwood, etc)
