Anyone have any code to share to make the fields autocomplete (at least) -- on both form and views filters? I'm not opposed to begging.

This looks applicable, but not sure quite what to do with that.

Hello, developer. This is quite a big UI issue. Anything that cannot be adequately controlled is a UI issue; but for any directory site where selecting a state and/or city is important to the usefulness of the site, this issue is an obstacle. It is keeping me from launching a site. And, the issue is compounded by an inconsistency in the module with respect to use of state name spelled out and state postal abbreviation.

Response appreciated. (And, no, I cannot offer a patch. Not a programmer. But, I sure as hell can test one if presented.)

By the by, I have installed the Location Taxonomize module in attempt for some relief. But, not helping. Ideally, I'd rather have a select (dropdown) option populated only by user entered data. But, I'd settle for autocomplete. Thank you.

I don't imagine we'll be adding autocomplete directly to this module. We don't want to be in the business of hosting a database of these things to autocomplete against, nor would we integrate with a third party API. I'm not sure how useful it is to populate an autocomplete list with previously entered values, but that would make for a fine contributed module that enhances Address Field form elements. I don't see that being part of the module directly, though, as 1) we don't provide a UI where it would make sense to toggle this feature on / off and 2) it could be a security issue (inappropriate disclosure) to just blindly enable it for every site.
