I saw a post last month from Ron who indicated that the geocoder (not sure exactly what this is ) was "weak" in parsing locations in the UK and I wondered frstly if this is a Genopro issue or a Google Maps issue and if there was a solution.
I'm running Version 2.0.0.2 and would like to get the map function working as as it seems a great addition.
My website works off my own server and I have obtained my own key from Google and inserted it in the config.xml file - all seems to work ..... for the US but I can't get it to display any of the UK places. (it is not consistent outside UK either e.g. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia displays but Khartoum Africa or Khartoum, Sudan Africa does not. ). I get the same error message box each time saying " Google Maps failed to locate this place (xxx,xxx) Unknown address, No corresponding Geographic location could be found..."
So I wondered if I'm missing something. Google Maps outside Genopro can find and display the UK places if I just type them in. I wondered if there was something critical in the way places are described. Typically my place names are in the form "Aberdeen, Scotland or Aberdeen Scotland, UK or Aberdeen, UK ....... I feel one of these should work! I have tried editing the place object to insert the city, country, State details but to no avail. My US places seem to work just fine e.g "Camden, New Jersey, USA" displays without any additions to the object. Any help appreciated.
