Finding by country only in Google Maps; or changing value of "anywhere" in index page

Hi there

I've just started an international teaching jobs site using JobRoller. In the main, I really like the software; however, an annoying problem I've encountered concerns the Google Maps set-up.

At the moment, anyone advertising a variety of vacancies within a particular country can't specify that country only using Google Maps - for example, if you enter "China" Google Maps will in fact come up with a particular location in China, which is incorrect. However, by leaving the entry blank, the job location is displayed as "anywhere", which is also incorrect.

Could you tell me whether (1) there is any way to have countries recognised as valid locations in their own right (without having to provide a city or other location within that country) and (2) I can change the value "anywhere" (as in "location: anywhere") to something more suitable (like " - ").

Many thanks

Simon

Edit: sorry - you can see my jobs site here: http://efl-resource.com/tefljobs/

Note the locations which say "anywhere" are in fact located in various places within particular countries.
