 * The Google maps URL that is generated: [http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=current+location&daddr=Rafters%20Landing%2C%20Edmonton%2C%20Alberta%2C%20Canada](http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=current+location&daddr=Rafters%20Landing%2C%20Edmonton%2C%20Alberta%2C%20Canada)
 * It’s picking “Current Financial Corp, Tower 1, 10060 Jasper Ave #2020, Edmonton,
   AB T5J 3R8” instead of the user’s current location.
 * Plugin or Google Map issue? I don’t see anywhere to fix this in Google API settings.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fgoogle-maps-not-using-current-location%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@mattpaint](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattpaint/),
 * Unfortunately, in rare cases, Google chooses the wrong location based on the 
   address. You can try to adjust the format of the address you use in case that
   helps, but in some cases there’s nothing that can be done until Google corrects
   the issue on their end.
