Address and map pin

An address in GardyProp is three fields and a point on a map — never one free text box. The fields go on your documents; the point is what a route is measured with.

Step by step

1. Type street and number, postcode and town.
2. Leave the town field. If no pin is set yet, GardyProp searches by itself and drops the pin.
3. If it lands wrong, correct it — either by pressing the search button again, or by pasting a Google Maps link, or by dragging the marker on the map.

Good to know

There are two sources and one correction. The search and the Google link produce a point. The map does not produce one — it shows where the point landed and lets you move it. It only looked like a third question when all three sat underneath each other as equals.

An automatic search never overwrites your pin. If you pasted a link or dragged the marker, no address search will take that away. GardyProp only searches while there is no point at all.

A failed search stays silent while you are typing. An address that was not found is not an error, it is a point that is still missing. You only get a message when you pressed the button yourself.

Why the pin matters more than the address: in much of the Mediterranean the postal address does not lead a van to the gate. Road kilometres, route order and the technician's navigation all use the point, not the text.

Changing it later works the same way. Open the customer, press edit, and the same three fields are there — with the map underneath. Until 24 August 2026 they were missing from that dialog entirely: an address could be entered once and never corrected.

An address from the old days stays visible. Entries from before the three fields carry one block of text. GardyProp does not split it up — “12 Main Street” and “Main Street 12” would go wrong in opposite directions. The old text is shown below the empty fields so that somebody sorts it once, by hand.

What it does not do

The address is not validated against any postal register. And a pin that looks right on the map is not proof that the gate is there — check it once on site during the survey.
