Mapbox new location selection PSE2019

When I add a new location I cannot confirm the correct place on the map because it does not show it unlike with previous Google Maps.

Here is an example where I want to add the town of "porto cristo" on Mallorca, Spain. It lies on the "Balearische Inseln".

5 choices are shown.

Q1: Why always limited to 5 choices? Can it be changed to see more?

2 "Carrer" are listed, these are roads, so these are not my choices. 2 "Cr" are listed. I don't know what that means. 1 "Cl" is listed, don't know either. There are 3 different parent towns listed and I would need to open e.g. Google maps to inspect the correct parent town. With the Mapbox integration I don't see how I can choose the correct location.

Q2: How can the Mapbox location be shown like with previous Google Maps?

Please note that I have this problem with many locations, not only in Spain.

This is one of the reasons that I don't use Places in the Organizer.   AFAIK, there is nothing you can do about the options you are given. Using keywords is far more flexible for me.  I don't need to see my photos grouped on a map.  I just need to find them in the grid.

The five-location limit can be a pain, and unfortunately, I’m not sure if it can be changed directly in the Mapbox integration. For better location accuracy, it might help to zoom in more on the map or try using a combination of keywords to narrow down your search. Hopefully, they’ll improve this in future updates!
