Googlemap module adress

For me the problem is in the address field parsing.

Example:

1) Select country Kyrgystan

2) For city encode Bishkek and press "Marker from address"

3) now move marker to the right to Toktogul Street

btw, see different way of handling label between upper and lower part, missing marker at installation in subdirectory and the length of entry field with phone numbers.

4) press "Address from marker" and you will get "Toktogul Street, Pervomaysky District, Bishkek"

5) remove "Pervomaysky District, Bishkek" from address 1 field so that only the street is left.

6) Press address from marker again and it will go back to bishkek.

For my understanding the field address should normaly only include the street, since the other information was already encoded in city and country.

If you only encode the street you will not get an result.

To show, that it is possible to get a good result, just try to type in "Kyrgystan, Bishkek, Toktogul Street" in this example

Or try this here

This is the result what i would expect from a geocoding "Marker from Address".

Therefore i believe there is still a problem in parsing the address1 field.

For my understanding the field address should normaly only include the street, since the other information was already encoded in city and country.

Agree, if Gmaps allows to fiter city, district, country from the adress it would be great.. but i also noticed that some streets when pressing that button, only shows the name of the street, some other cases show street,district,city

Sack you can try this:

1 - Insert valid country,state,city, adress (you can insert adress with door numbers, etc)

2 - Press marker from adress

At this point it should place the marker on the name of the city

Now do this

3 - Click inside the state or city field, without changing the info

4 - Click somewhere on your website that has no link or whatever (click the background for example) and see if the map updates to the correct location.

If it does not update, repeat process 3 and 4.

It does parse... but the process is somewhat buggy.

Any update on this issue? Planning to get it fixed?

thanks

This is very complicated question.

I can save to city and state only single value. Or city/state filter will not work very well. It means that rest I have to put into address field.

This is because geocode returns bishkek twice in 'locality' which is city and 'administrative_area_level_2'.

But in other places 'administrative_area_level_2' may differ than then city. So I either ignore it or put to address line.

Any idea?

i believe the address line should have only the address (like street) in almost all of the encoding scenarios. That would be suitable for almost everyone. So my advice would be to ignore the other information.

City holds already the city/town information. Just the street and ignore the rest .. i believe then the reverse geocoding will also work .. see the "Kyrgystan, Bishkek, Toktogul Street" example.

That would be the desired result.

Ok, I made changes.

Agree.. adress should have only the adress..

But as mentioned earlier can you please reply to this issues?

1 - Is it possible to disable the encode at least for the adress field ? It contains personal data and since it's different from record to record (because it has adress, door number and floor) it makes no point.

If not possible to disable only the encode for adress field, is it possible to disable the encode for all geomap fields?

2 - The fact that the map does not update unless we click inside the field city or state and press somewhere on the background will be fixed ?

3 - Don't take me wrong.. but i believe that having an option in geomapfield to retrieve geolocation from specific fields would solve many issues. Hope it get's implemented.

thanks

With all the adjustments and an updated map list template, this Geo-Field alone will be a reason to use Cobalt 8.

It is really exciting to see how much the field improved (feature and performance) over the last 2 weeks.

Thank you but remember you use version which is not yet released :)

I do not clearly understand. Do you want to disable map marker update after you enter address? Or Update address line after you set marker location?

This works like this.

If you enable automatic position initialisation, then when you eneter country, city or state map will not be updated and it will be updated only after you eneter address.

If automatic position initialisation if turned off, then map will be updated starting from country to the address.

I understand but that was the reason to put all fields from address and map into one field. I do not think we will implement position geocoding from fields other than geo field.

1 - Sorry if i could not get clear on this. When your typing an adress it shows suggestions of adress already inserted previously on other records... adress has specific private information inserted which should not appear to other users, thats what i want to disable, the suggestion for the address field.

Also regarding this matter... if you try

2 - Sorry but that's wrong, at least from my side. I have automatic position initialisation turned OFF.

When i insert country the map updates. The same happens for city and state.

But after inserting the adress the map DOES NOT update (at adress level).

The only way that it updates (at adress level) is filling all the info, then i have to press inside the state or city and press on the page background so that it updates.

Why ? very simple... your Geo field only updates correctly if state or city is filled AFTER filling the adress field.

If you insert the adress after inserting city and state, the map does not update.

You can forget the Marker from adress, that button appears to function well... but it only works if city or state are filled AFTER you insert the adress.

Hope it's understable... Sack showed threw the screenshots the same exact problem, so it does not happen only with me and it's not browser-related because i tested with chrome and firefox.

thanks

But I think there is no typeahead suggestion on address field. Is there?

Oh!! I got your point. Here is why we did it this way. If you want to move marker to address you can click address to marker button. We do not update automatically because. Imagine this. You set you address and then set marker. But google geolocation from address place marker just a few meters away your house. You have adjusted marker position. But problem if you try to change address then it will move your marker again.

In other words when we adjust map automatically it creates problem of not been able to set marker where you want to set it.

That is why we created buttons there user can click and convert marker to address and vice versa but only when he needs it.

What do you think?

Also I have made some changes. Please wait new update and tes may be it will do what you want.

1 - Terrible sorry... now i realised that it was not anything related to C8, but with Firefox.

2 - Well theres 2 issues here...

2.1 - you said that if a user does not press the marker on the map, the map does not show up on record full. So if indeed the map would update (at adress level) after inserting all data, the marker would be on the correct adress... so the user would not need to press on it... which would not show the map on the record full, correct?

2.2 - > But google geolocation from address place marker just a few meters away your house. You have adjusted marker position. But problem if you try to change address then it will move your marker again.

In other words when we adjust map automatically it creates problem of not been able to set marker where you want to set it.

So if it would update at adress level, moving the marker would automatically change the adress field ?

Nope. But that is what I say. There is no automatic synch between address line and map marker because of the reason I have mentioned before.

I was trying to say why we are avoiding automatic update of either address or marker. Perhaps if we only keep automatic update of marker from address it will work. But imagine this scenarion. And this is how I usually do.

I do not like to eneter adresses. To me it is ease to click Marker at my location. then adjust it if ti is not correct (and in most cases it is not) and click address from marker. But as discussed it is not necessary that google return exactly correct address. Or may miss building number. I add building number to address line. And this is only field I have to modify which is good. But after modify (if it automatically update) marker will move somewhere again. And I'll have to adjust it again with is annoying.

In other words if you have automatic update from or to address/marker you can get into situation when it moves marker or enter address which you do not want.

This is only what I think. I am open and ready for making field better. please describe why I have to add address level sync and I'll add it.

First impression of field 8.83 is good .. it actually get some additional info in the address field when using address from marker, but it is definitely much much better.

It seems the town is not showing the existing encoded values anymore. Is this the default behaviour now? State is still showing it. I would suggest, that Town will do it also, to avoid some spelling problems as described earlier.

Well... i disagree on version 8.83, it should be version 9 because it has nothing to do with the previous one :D

Now everything works well.

Great job! Thanks

Is this the default behaviour now?

Nope, You know everything is adjustable. I am open for discussions. If you see potential to make it even better I am listening...
