I embed googlemaps where the property is by putting a balloon marker. Sometimes though when I right click on 'whats here' I don't get the address but get this

ኡርባኒሳሲኦን ብ ማርቲን ብጎልፍ, 89
03189 Orihuela
Alicante

I am being thick but can't seem to find out why it does that on certain places?

if it is your property and you have a place claim contact Google.

Villamartin? It's listed on Google maps. Are you close?

sorry I haven't explained it very well! When I am locating other peoples properties to embed in my website and right click I don't get the name but get those bizarre squiggly lines that look like russian or something....

I maybe haven't explained well either. The place you give is a real entry on Google maps, complete with Arabic or whatever it is. Are you close to this place? Is Google picking somewhere close to you?
Without seeing your embedded map, it's difficult to speculate what is wrong.

I found that place to but where is your property? Is it correctly registered on Google maps and appearing as a named pin for the public to see, like all those other places you see on there?

Kev its nothing to do with my property. Its a property I rent where the grey balloon thingy is, it comes up with strange words. Happens randomly with other properties too, Just wondered if anyone knew that the gooble gook is

The language is sundanese. Perhaps I've misunderstood how googlemaps work or they have changed recently but normally you right click, press whats here, and it gives you the name and number of the street I embed that in the advert so guests can see where the property is (or rough idea)

Seeing that you have not registered the business of GMaps then maybe you should read this "how to"
https://support.google.com/business/answer/2911778?hl=en
There is bound to be a video on this somewhere.

Thanks but I have already done that for my own business, this is for my clients adverts where I show where the rental is
