Restrict Google Geolocation to City and Country only

Hello Stackideas,
1. I want to restrict the geolocation to city and country only, in other words when a user fills in their address field to only show city and not the whole address. Street and house number should not appear.
2. Also in the user's introduction section to show City and Country and not the State and Country, for example Chicago, United States and not Illinois, United States.

Is there an option to do that or set some restrictions in google maps api?

Thank you very much.
Currently I am not sure whether that is possible to restrict it from the Google service provider and we do not have an option to let site admin to decide which address info should appear on the user profile page.

For now you can try download my attached file then put these files into this following template override file location, it will only show city and country data.

JoomlaFolder/templates/yourCurrentTemplate/html/com_easysocial/apps/fields/user/address/widgets/display.php
JoomlaFolder/templates/yourCurrentTemplate/html/com_easysocial/apps/fields/user/address/display_content.php

For those new folder you have to create it manually.
