Problem

No results are shown when searching for contacts by address in the Everbridge Universe.

Root Cause

Change mapEverbridge uses a Geocode provider to look up the latitude and longitude (geocode) of the address, which is required for selecting contacts via the Universe map.

No results means that the Geocode provider does not have the address geocoded.
