Google API do not allow GPS co-ordinates entry

Dear Stiofan,
thanks for the reply.
Steps>
1) Select OpenStreetMap API (Geodirectory – Design – Map – Select MAPS API – Use OpenStret API)
2) Save
3) Create place on the map, fill GPS co-ordinates into the Address, click outside the Address field
4) App automatically fills the Country, Region, City and put the marker on the right position within the map
5) Save, everything OK

6) Register and test the Google Maps API key, enter it into the GeoDir Geodirectory – Design – Map – Google API key), save the settings
7) Switch the API settings to the Google or automatic (Geodirectory – Design – Map – Select MAPS API – Use Google Map API or Automatic)
8) Save
9) Create place on the map, fill GPS co-ordinates into the Address, click outside the Address field
10) Nothing happens, the co-ordinates are unrecognized, trying every Google supported format

We have places without address, GPS co-ordinates only, so we need it.

Using OpenStreet Map API leads to troubles, because region, city, country is automatically fill using local character set – for example Greece places are automatically market as “θεσσαλία-στερεά-ελλάδα/περιφέρεια-στερεάς-ελλάδας” (Thermopyles 🙂 )

OK, does it means, that WPGeo sends to the OpenStreetMap API address or co-ordinartes and to the Google Map API not ?

Sending the address “43.0012, 12.088” is interpreted as a GPS co-ordinates when OpenStreetMap API is active.

We are using GPS co-ordinates because we like to work with places on the map :-). Most of places does not have the street address – like camps, RW parking places, beaches etc. We are expecting work with co-ordinates, not only to create the place, but to create routes and navigate our customers to the right destinations.

We are finding out how to show GPS co-ordinates on the website.

Lets see it on https://all4camper.com/en (sorry, the internationalization is still on progress)

Ok, thanks a lot, looking forward to next week 🙂

Have a nice evening, David
