Hi,
We are here to help you under stand it all 🙂
No, you do not have to edit any shortcodes. Any address accepted by maps.google.com, resulting in a single point being highlighted on the map, will work for BePro Listings.
When the address is submitted, it is sent to google via its maps api. If google responds with a single lat/lon, we store that result. We then use that information for calculating distance between listings. This is all explained in the following article

We also have a past forum discussion with a customer where we talk in depth about the google map search feature

By the nature of postal/zip codes, google creates a general lat/lon in the center of that region. In some cases its a house, in others its a wide area. Obviously, a complete address narrows the search further. With the Form Builder, you decide how specific your users need to be.
