I was adding this guy to the tree http://www.geni.com/people/Erik-Carlsson-Gyllenstierna/6000000029261202319 and adding his place of death. Pasted in "Trökörna, Skaraborgs län, Sverige" and got nothing, then i tried "Skaraborgs län" which at first looked like nothing again, then i saw a list from behind the add window looking like the attached file ( see bottom of screen shot). it works in the update window as far as getting the list on top of the window.
Try edit location details the next time. The automatic lookup is using Google Map returns in any case only English names on the location - if it exsist, so you have to enter edit location details anyhow to edit, like changing kingdom of Sweden to Sverige anyhow.
if the location list was on top of the window instead of under it then using the edit location details would not be necessary. Attached is the same location list for the "add" and "update" screens, notice the last 4 match on both. On the 5th line from the bottom the descenders of the 2 g's can be seen in the "location list in add screen" and match up with the 5th line from the bottom on the "location list in update screen" screen shot. It seems that 'not finding a location' happens more often in the 'add screen' than the 'update screen' .
