Hi there.
I was wondering if it is possible to get the location module to geocode an address even though only a city field is specified. (Center the map to the center of the city. Or even when a street name is given and not the street address, center the map to the center of the street?).
Is this possible to do that by lowering the accuracy & how can the accuracy be lowered?
Any help would be much appreciated,
Cheers Nash

Look in modules/location/supported/location.us.inc for the function location_geocode_us_google() and the line 

if ($accuracy_code != 8 && $accuracy_code != 7) {

Change the test to allow for a lowet accuracy code (my memory says you want to allow down to 5).
Note you will need at least city and state.

This works in 3.x, it allows accuracy down to 3.
