| Announcing Google+ Local | Jade W | 5/30/12 6:45 AM | Hi guys, We’re excited to share with you a new feature in Google+ where you can search for local places and get informed with Zagat ratings and reviews from people you know. It’s called Google+ Local, and you can find it under “Local” in the navigat |
| Re: Announcing Google+ Local | + Gaurav Power Poster | 5/30/12 7:05 AM | hello, Thanks For the information Jade :) |
| Re: Announcing Google+ Local | FearTheSun | 5/30/12 8:01 AM | May I ask whether any review I post will be synchronized with the "regular" Google Maps thing? G+ isn't that popular in Germany yet, and I'd prefer to reach a high number of people rather than support Google+. Is it enough to post a review once to g |
| Re: Announcing Google+ Local | jrm | 5/30/12 8:39 AM | Why does my locale for "local" keep defaulting to Oregon when I'm in California and my profile shows my correct location under "Lives in"? (I can change the locale of the "local" with the search every time, but it's very annoying that the default is |

| Re: Announcing Google+ Local | Tom92024 | 5/30/12 9:44 AM | I'm seeing results near my ISP's office, about 40-50 miles from where I'm actually sitting. Why are you using IP location (completely meaningless for most consumer-level internet access) instead of the default location I've provided in my Google prof |
| Re: Announcing Google+ Local | Jack B. Erhart | 5/30/12 9:48 AM | Thanks Jade, Went in as you instructed, and the default was San Luis Obispo, CA which is the city 30 miles south of where I live, Paso Robles, CA. I clicked on "Change location" to Paso Robles, CA and hit "Set." Went into Google+ and clicked on "Loca |
| Re: Announcing Google+ Local | Tom92024 | 5/30/12 9:49 AM | Oh, wait... I see where I can change the default there, at least. But here's the crazy part - I now have my correct location set in: 1) The Google Search Page, 2) Google Maps, and 3) My Google Profile, yet the new "Local" page in Google+ isn't readin |
| Re: Announcing Google+ Local | stayatplay | 5/30/12 9:52 AM | BUG: Google Local does NOT do the same thing when you click the map on right side of this page ( *CORRECT* ): https://maps.google.se/maps/place?cid=16933618366192635070&q=imaginary+world+enk%C3%B6ping than on this page ( *click map on _right side_ below |
| Re: Announcing Google+ Local | MrsWindaker | 5/30/12 9:53 AM | Responding as requested by email from Vanessa Schnieder: On Google+Local my location shows as "Greer, SC". My normal Google search results map showed restaurants in Greenville, SC. My actual location is north of Greenville and a bit northwest of G |
| Re: Announcing Google+ Local | Vanessa | 5/30/12 9:57 AM | Thanks for posting these location details, folks! Keep it coming. |
| Re: Announcing Google+ Local | Tom92024 | 5/30/12 10:08 AM | Just found another oddity... When I change the default location in Google search, it appears to only be saved in a cookie, instead of with my account. When I use another browser or device on the same internet connection, and log into my Google accoun |
| Re: Announcing Google+ Local | Christine Evans | 5/30/12 10:48 AM | FWIW, the location autodetect only works for me if I'm logged in AND looking at News. All other Google pages default to Columbus, OH. I have to reset to my home city every time if I want to find a local answer. If I leave the page, I lose the settin |
| Re: Announcing Google+ Local | ParaCAD | 5/30/12 11:00 AM | With-in maps my default is Gainesville, Fl. But as I mentioned in Google+ when using Local it defaults to Andover, MA which would make sense if it's grabing my ISP server... |
| Re: Announcing Google+ Local | tlaunder | 5/30/12 11:31 AM | Checking some local listings, I noticed that owner replies to negative reviews are no longer showing. Is that correct or a "bug" in the system. It would seem unfair to business owners to lose the ability to counter negative reviews. |
| Re: Announcing Google+ Local | Jade W | 5/30/12 11:37 AM | Thanks for the reports, guys! We're out and about tracking this down; keep 'em coming! @tlaunder, would you mind posting the links to the listings you mentioned? |
| Re: Announcing Google+ Local | ErnieB | 5/30/12 11:39 AM | My ISP's address shows up in Google.com (Chantilly, VA) and in my G+Local page. I can change the search page location to my home office (about 400 miles away), but I can't set a new default location in G+ Local |
| Re: Announcing Google+ Local | Mike T | 5/30/12 11:47 AM | What does this mean for multi-location businesses? I work for a convenience store chain and would love to see this interactivity brought to each of our pages. |

Those replies are not showing i |
| Re: Announcing Google+ Local | Jeremy | 5/30/12 11:52 AM | Google+ Local is, by default, putting me in Doylestown, PA. Searching for restaurants on Google, the “local” thing is putting me in Washington, DC. I am, right now, physically in Atlantic City, NJ. |
| Re: Announcing Google+ Local | jimnicebutdim | 5/30/12 12:07 PM | Hi, I got asked by Vanessa Schneider to come over here and tell you my location problem. Basically g+local instead of picking me up as being in Talsarnau on the west coast of Wales thinks I'm 124 miles away in Bury near Manchester. I'm guessing thi |
| Re: Announcing Google+ Local | slother | 5/30/12 12:30 PM | I've searched with my hometown as a parameter a gazillion times. My Android phone spends probably half its life there. I've even allowed Google Maps to give me a cute little Home icon on my street so I can easily sat-nav my way home when I'm tired or |
| Re: Announcing Google+ Local | Jade W | 5/30/12 12:54 PM | @Mike T, keep an eye out for new features related to this launch for business owners. A little more information about Google+ Local for business owners is at the Google and Your Business forum - http://goo.gl/3g8OS Thanks again for your reports about |
| Re: Announcing Google+ Local | AlanStainer | 5/30/12 1:46 PM | Search and Google+ Local were detecting my location as Luton earlier today. Search is now auto detecting London instead. I reset it to Storrington, West Sussex, UK (for search) which is correct, but Google+ Local is still displaying Luton by default. |
| Re: Announcing Google+ Local | John Poteet | 5/30/12 1:57 PM | I'm getting my Local default setting as Redding CA when I'm 73 miles south in Chico CA. I've reset my home location in Maps, Profile, and News and local doesn't reset. This is obviously the location of my ISP and not my location. These setting should |
