Change the value in textbox of a google map autocomplete

Question

I have the following javascript code which does google map autocomplete on different input textboxes that are parts of an address.

function startAutoComplete         


        

Answer 1

The simplest way I've found to programmatically change the value of an Autocomplete input is to reinitialize the input field.

autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(address, option);

google.maps.event.addListener(autocomplete, 'place_changed', function() {
   // populate your other text fields
   ...
   // change the value of your autocomplete
   address.value = place.name;
   // reinitialize with new input value
   autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(address, option);
}
