Hi just noticed something that is odd.

In stream post i can use location data via Google Maps (places api), it brings up a list of places and displays map.

However in the registration section where i ask the user to state location. If you press detect my location, nothing happens at all, no list no map and as such no profile completion, i have tested this in chrome, safari and firefox, all have the same issue. In chrome you can see it requesting location data with the little gps symbol in the bar, but no data is returned. If i then look at google api dashboard i can see NO request for data when clicking the registration location button. However stream location requests do show up and add to the request total

In fact i just noticed that if you set Location data in the backend to GOOGLE MAPS Only, then no location data works at all and no calls are made via google (as per viewing my api request dashboard). Set it back to PLACES and place data is pulled in. If i recall in the beginning using maps it could give postcode level details in the uk, However it seems selecting MAPS ONLY does not pull in any data at all.
Apologies

Should have cheked the documentation again, 3 of the apis were not activated
