Google Maps UK

In OR 2.5.8 we had the ablity to use Google Maps UK as a setting and it it could then be configured to lok up the location using the Post Code of the property.

I have made my settings correctly and mapped the fields accoringly, I have also placed my Maps API in as well.

As far as I can tell for google maps to work must it use thelong/lat figures? is that correct, can it not pick up from the post code

Re: Google Maps UK

Okay, I have answered in part my own question, direct from Orodha website features list...

automatic geocoding if listing doesn't have latitude / longitude data already.

So does anyone have any idea why the map is not showing, there is a blank space

Re: Google Maps UK

In 2.5.8 you were using maps addon, now it's in core so it's propably different wink

Re: Google Maps UK

You need to setup map configuration in administration.

Re: Google Maps UK

I have it set up, unless I have overlooked something.

I have...... what I have now done is add two new fields to the property i.e.long and lat. Even though these will never be populated. and that now works

Many thanks

Re: Google Maps UK

Thanks Neon

Having loked at some of my listings I see that the field auto populate, many thanks for that tip.

I have a weird problem. Some listsing are showing okay on the UK map and others are wring and are shown on a USA map. Itohuhgt it was to do with the post cost or something but no that is all correct.

What I have found it on those listings that are mappy properly only one Long/Lat exists against that property field. Those that are not mapped properly seem to have two longs and two lats, with one pair of fields being populate... see screen shot.

Now if I manualy copy the auto generated longitude data to the other longitude field and the same with Lat, it maps okay???

Why am I getting duplicate Long and Lat fields?

Re: Google Maps UK

You should add field "Country" and set it in maps configuration. That way it will tell google that listing is in UK. Full address is always best solution to have...
