Repro steps
Hello, first of all, congratulations on your excellent work developing this plug-in.
I am developing a multiplatform application that works with google places and addresses, first I developed the mobile application with Ionic, for the autocomplete search system there was no snippet for Ionic, so I built my own system using the back-end service of google and ionic elements ...
During my development I found that to improve search predictions, the server accepts a parameter called Origin/Location:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/intro#RequestParameters
https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/search#PlaceSearchRequests
This parameter greatly improves the user experience since it shows the addresses closest to the user's location ...
Desired functionality
Now, I am working with the web application, and I am getting to your plugin, I have been impressed by your work. The integration of google places was very easy.
The complication I have is that the search results are very imprecise, I have to type many more keys, and invest much more time to find the place I am looking for ...
I would like to see if there is a possibility that you will add a way for us to pass that value to searches to improve predictions...
Mention any other details that might be useful
I am willing to support your project, either by helping with development or by making a donation.
