In a survey question, is it possible to use OpenStreetMaps for a country only?

Hi there,

In a survey, for a question, I would like the respondent to be able to type in an address and have it pinned on OpenStreetMap. With the current implementation, it seems the user can only search for suburb names in the search field---addresses return no results. At least in Australia, with the screencast example I’ll attach below.

The desired functionality is that the respondent is essentially answering the question "what is your address?" but is able to see their answer rendered on the map.

Also, is there a way to select “Restrict search to map extent” by default? Or better yet, set the map to only search Australia, or better yet, the state of Victoria in Australia only?

I believe the best you can do is postal code. The backend is simply using the Geonames.org place names. It's not a full address capable engine. At least that' what I remember.
