Chrome Autofill covers Autocomplete for Google Maps API v3

Question

I am using Google Maps Javascript v3 to setup autocomplete on an HTML input field like so:

The issue I\'m having

Answer 1

This is driving me crazy, after testing lot of stuff, what I had to do to prevent this behavior is not giving a hint to chrome that's an address.

Not an easy challenge to make it user friendly without mentioning the words "address", "street", etc

I end up using the word "Location" in the placeholder. I didn't use any other attribute like autocomplete. Simply never mention anywhere it's an address, and Chrome will stop doing this.

I hope this can help others.
