Hi

I had the same problem, this is what I did.  You need to start at Support ticket.

 

In the Search bar in the Help articles,  key in Support ticket,  then click on "I want to contact AirBNB",  the click on "Contact Page", then click on Message Us.

 

Tell them you cannot get your address to come up on the map.  When I did this the help person manually put the GPS co-ords into the AirBNB system and up it came!!!  All Fixed!

 

Hope you can understand all that and it gets fixed for you.

First, check google maps. See if google maps can find your room location. Now remember that location.

 

Once on airbnb, try to drag your location manually (with your mouse) to the one corresponding to google maps location. This should help airbnb understand correct address.

 

Hope this helps.

Trying to create a new listing.  Google Maps finds it, but Airbnb cannot and I cannot get past this stage to create the listing. HELP!

 

I'm having the same issue. It won't let me past this step although the address works fine in gmaps and also on vrbo.com.

I'm having the same issue, can't complete my registration to host because it won't come up on the map, I keep getting the same message when I enter "Unable to translate address to position on the map. Please check the address."

 

Can a AirBNB person help please.

Yep. I'm having the same issue as well and I cant see how to contact anyone. My address is easily found on google maps or apple maps or any online maps.

I'm having this same issue, is there a fix? No map appears at all. My address works in google and other nav systems.

I've had another quick look,  here's what I found:

Go to the bottom of your page and click on help, should take you to Help articles.

 

If comes up with reservations:

 

*  Go to bottom of page ... Still Need Help - click on Contact Us

 

How can we help?   Ask a question or get help resolving a problem
* Click on Message Us
How can we help?
What reservation do you need help with?
* Click on "I Need Help with Something Else"
This should take you to the form to fill in and ask for help.  Don't forget to let them know how frustrated you are, I did and was told the programmers know about the glitch but haven't done anything about it!
 
Good luck
Cheryl
