Type or choose a suggested value.

Address suggestions can reduce mistakes by assembling street, locality, and postal details. People still need to correct the selected address or enter an address that is not listed.

When to use it

Allow manual entry and editing, and show enough address context to distinguish similar results.

Know the difference

Location search finds places; address autocomplete fills address fields for a specific task.
