Ah this is probably the problem I'm seeing with UK addresses - it seems http://maps.yahoo.com can't locate UK street addresses, the best it can do is return the centre of a town. http://uk.local.yahoo.com/maps/ however does do UK address searching.

For those keeping score at home, I've implemented the GoogleAPI for geocoding into the development version of Phoogle. Catch is, Google doesn't return errors for invalid addresses.

I'm probably going to allow the geocoding source to be defined by the user, so you'll have the choice between YahooAPI (with error reporting) and GoogleAPI (without error reporting). I'm trying to find a workaroung, so I'll keep everyone updated.

WOW is all I have to say. I love it Worked the first time I installed it without any issues at ALL.
Only one thing I notice which is really no big deal but my users must REFRESH the page before the map will appear again no big deal as they know about it but it would be cool for it to appear after posting after all isn't posting a refresh in a way?

As always Magnus your work is incredible. I'll send yet ANOTHER donation and another vote from me bro.......

Could someone let me know the full URL to enable me to use this for UK addresses? Thanks

See a few posts above... since it currently uses the Yahoo Maps API, it doesn't work with UK street addresses.

Slave 04-25-2007 03:01 PM

Yes, I saw that, but it seems like the poster had got it working and I wanted the full URL he used to get it to work.

Why even bother with the Yahoo side of things? Doesn't google cope with addresses? I thought it did.

The reason for the Yahoo API reliance was timeline. Yahoo!'s Geocoding validator was available first. Now that Google has a comparable tool, magnus has said he'll try and use that instead, for consistency's sake.

And no, the poster didn't "get it working," he just confirmed that the address didn't validate in Yahoo maps directly either, which is why it Phoogle doesn't map it properly.

No I haven't got it working with UK street addresses - that will require magnus to make the changes he's made in his development version publicly available or him doing something very clever like switching the yahoo look-up depending on the country.
