Google maps... Nottingham?

[thebraketester]

Typing "Train Station" into the google maps app on my iPhone, the first result is Nottingham, followed by Basingstoke followed by somewhere in Belgium. None of those places I am near. Any clues?

Thanks.

Try "Railway Station". That lists all the ones I'm near.

First hit on that one is Jaipur in India :-)

Are you just 'typing' or have you actually finished typing and pressed search? I find the latter gives you firm results

If i type "Train Station" and hit enter then it lists the local bus stops.

Also check VPN as it may affect the location

No VPN... checked using my house wifi and 5G, results are the same.

Google maps doesn’t necessarily give you the nearest results for any given search. It’s quite clear in their blurb.

As I suggested earlier what do you get if you type ‘train stations near me’?

Same result as "Train Station"..... the local bus stops.
