    First the page loads with perfect geolocation -> all is good, then the page reloads and shows no records found. Cache doesnt give any spot back. Anywhere you go on page it shows only no records found…

    The only way to see the records again is to flush the browser cache or login.

    Its weird, it behaves totally diffrent in chrome & firefox. No way to reconstruct it.

    Please feel free to test 3dspotfinder.com with geolocation and spots…I am happy to listen to your feedback…thx

    Hi,

    you should add the location switcher somewhere otherwise it is impossible to move from one location to another…

    Me I’m detected near Los Angeles and it says no record found, are there any listing for los angeles?

    Are you using a cache plugin or something?

    Thx

    No I am not using any cache, but I found out, that GD isnt restoring location after a spot is focused. If you go back to homepage GD stays on the last spots location, but looks for the Homepagecustom post, thats why it dosnt find any spots anymore. If it would reset to everywhere city if go back to homepage – it should work!

    I add the switcher, but I dont like it. It was possible with GT without the switcher. 😉

    I have an event and a freelancer near Los Angeles

    kindly rog

    I checked the multilocation plugin again, I think it would be good to have a option to make the “Home Page Results” be always the same “Everywhere/Default city” and not only “first time”. Its confusing!

    +1 Again!

    Seriously, it doesn’t make sense to maintain a filter on a selected area.

    If you go to any shopping cart website, say a clothing site, and go to the “Footwear” department, and then you search for “Overcoat” – or go back to the home page – you don’t get stuck in the “Footwear” department until you reselect the “Everywhere” option. Nobody will understand that, it will frustrate our users and make them go somewhere else!

    Hi,

    the website Manila linked (youcan’t see it, but if you want I can link it) does exactly what it is supposed to do.

    Geolocate you to the closest location, in my case it locates me in Guadalajara Mexico, (where I am right now) and it provides : No results found…

    If I click home it takes me to Home of Guadalajara becuse GeoLocation does what the Location Switcher does… only automatically

    If you change manually from Everywhere to Los Angeles and than click Home again, would you expect it to go back to Everywhere?

    That woud be total non-sense…

    Basically, if a user visits a listing of the location for which he was Geolocated, he couldnì’t go back to the Home Page of the single location, because they keep getting sent back to Everywhere or default location????

    @purpleedge locations are not categories. I’m sorry but that example really doesn’t fit in this situation…

    I do not agree. Its good if you like to use geolocation, but what if not? Now GD force you to use it, in GT it was like purpleedge and me means. I know GD is a different product, but why not combining good old solutions with new solutions to make a perfect solution.

    It should be possible to reset the location settings if you click on the homepage, so that visitors wont be lost on the website. Its not possible to get back to the starting point. For me its more a bug then a solution.

    You can see the difference if you go to http://gartenlokale.com (old GT) and http://3dspotfinder.com (new GD)

    For the best solution it would be cool to show all custom post types on the home page all over the world every time you click back to home page.

    Thanks for your comment Rog, but sorry to disappoint you, GT works just the same…

    If you share your location and click on home, location doesn’t change…

    Which is the only way geolocation works for any website I’ve tried, because you’d get lost the other way around…

    Thanks

    I desperately need a single-click option for users to link back to “everywhere” without having to drill down into the Location dropdown and somehow magically know to search for “everywhere”. A simple URL that I can use as a Custom Link in the menu would suffice. Has anyone found a way to do this? I’ve searched ever term I can think of but have come up short on answers here.

    +1 on what Stephen says.

    It is so important to have an obvious, single click (not hidden in a menu) ‘Everywhere’ button.

    That would be a link to yoursite.com/location/ (if you haven’t changed that permalink).

    Thanks
