For an efficient address autocomplete field, there are several best practices and alternative APIs you can consider:
Best Practices for Address Autocomplete:
-Use a Reliable API: Choose an API that provides accurate and up-to-date address data. This ensures that users get valid suggestions as they type.
-Minimize Keystrokes: The autocomplete should provide suggestions as early as possible to minimize the number of keystrokes required.
-Handle Typos Gracefully: The system should be able to handle common typos and still provide relevant suggestions.
-Optimize for Speed: Ensure that the API response time is fast to provide a seamless user experience.
-Geolocation Integration: If possible, integrate geolocation to provide more relevant suggestions based on the user’s current location.
