title: GOOGLE MAPS AUTOCOMPLETE state name rather than state code
body: <p>I am using the google map autocomplete API to allow our customers to search for <code>city, state, country</code> formatted locations. Overall it is working well, but the problem is that while I am searching for a city, such as 'Toronto', it will give autocomplete output with abbreviated state names, for example, <code>Toronto ON, Canada</code>, as in the image below : </p>
  
  <p><strong>Example :</strong></p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/sAHHa.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/sAHHa.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>I want autocomplete output with state name rather than state code.  For example, in the above image, it should instead say <code>Toronto Ontario, Canada</code>.</p>
  
  <p>let me give another example : If I search for New York city, it will be output as: <code>New York, NY, United States</code>, but instead I would prefer that it be output as <code>New York, New York, United States</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Is there some attribute that google provides us with which I could force the state names to be given in full, rather than abbreviated?</p>
  
  <p>I have tried with some work-arounds to fix this issue, but I have so far failed to find a universal, working solution. Can anyone guide me on how best to accomplish this?</p>
