Maps show location as Kenya Africa when set to no location in admin (happens on demo)

[Graham Jupp]

Im using Realty 4.8, I have not been able to get the search on maps page to correctly show user location when they first arrive at the "search on maps" page unless they click the location arrow icon.

I have set the default location for search on maps page blank as suggested at admin/Basic Settings/MapsGeocoding/default location

When I do this the user location is incorrectly identified as being near the town of Meru in Kenya, Africa (I'm in Australia). I have also tried from my phone whilst on a cellular data connection and also on other user's PCs and it seems to identify them all as being in this same incorrect location.

This is happening on both my 4.8 update from 4.7.2 but more importantly is also happening on your 4.8 Demo when I adjusted the setting in Realty Demo admin.

Happens with all the map providers and also doesnt make any difference if I change the Geocoding service provider to any of the alternate providers.

Can others please try testing the demo of 4.8, adjusting the default location to be blank and see if they end up also landing in Kenya when they visit the search on maps page.

Would appear to be a fairly major issue if it's not just me as it is also showing the same error on the flynax realty demo.
