Search Query Showing Lat and Long, is that a problem?

Hi, I am trying to create a search bar for users to see events near the area they search. I am using the google places api to get the lat and long when the user enters the address. I attach the lat and long to hidden fields and submit the query. This does work in sending the lat and long, but I end up with a search bar looking like this

http://showbelow.test/search?term=New+York%2C+NY%2C+USA&latitude=40.7127753&longitude=-74.0059728

Is there any problem with doing it this way? Thanks! Chris

No thats fine.

Checkout google's address bar when you click on a location!
