I am getting a user access permission error when I generate a U.S. map for the first time. I double-checked the install directions and I have everything there and proper CHMOD. Any suggestions? I will try a different map later.

Did you check the usergroups in admincp if the access to the map is correct?

Vossi worked the whole day on the US-Map..... the world? we are going to map it! ;-)

Saudi Arabia
I do not have any geodata of Saudi Arabia at the moment,
if we will get such data, we would be able to provide a "Saudi Arabia"-map...
or if you/we will get only a table with the locations and zip-codes of Saudi Arabia,
I think I would be able to get the suitable geodata (longitude & latitude).
(Do you have such a table?)

Duh!!! I totally saw where you mentioned that before I installed, but I thought I didn't have to do it until the end. Thanks.

Now I have a bug. On the map page, in 'Own userdata for map-entry:' The county field and 'save entry' button do not show up. So if I enter in my state and zip, then hit enter, they show up for a millisecond as the page refreshes. I had to stop it just as I hit enter and then click save entry. After doing this though, all the fields and buttons show up correctly when refreshed.

Just wondering if the 104 english has been fixed yet. Useing the usa map you can type in a zip code but theres no way to save it.

Thats awesome news, how long does it take you guys to do a map? My members will love this mod!

Is it at all possible to have one map for member locations, and one map that only the admin can enter event locations into?

It should be a table with the following columns:
name of the place (e.g. Riyadh) | ZIP of the Place | longitude of the plce | latitude of the place

Maybe a table with these two columns would be already enough:
name of the place (e.g. Riyadh) | ZIP of the Place

Here is a short sample of the German geodata-table:

Berlin;14131;DE;52.517;13.4
Berlin;10115;DE;52.532;13.392
Berlin;10117;DE;52.516;13.387
Berlin;10119;DE;52.528;13.411
Berlin;10178;DE;52.523;13.414
Berlin;10179;DE;52.514;13.423
Dresden;01314;DE;51.05;13.75
Dresden;01067;DE;51.05;13.75
Dresden;01069;DE;51.043;13.737
Dresden;01097;DE;51.071;13.74
Hamburg;20095;DE;53.552;10
Hamburg;20097;DE;53.548;10.019
Hamburg;20099;DE;53.55;10
Hamburg;20144;DE;53.574;9.975
Hamburg;20146;DE;53.567;9.98
Hamburg;20148;DE;53.55;10

That's what we need.

maps.google.com can't provide such a table filled with postalcodes. :-(

And we do not like to send every request of postal code
to the Google API, because that would be an external request
for every user wich is making a map-entry.

It is always safer to use only the own, internal system (the own MySQL-Server),
and not the serviced provided by any external company.

That's why we do not use the google map. ;-)
