    Hello,

    I have the latest updated version of your plugin plus the CSV importer. When I imported and included latitude and longitude columns with blank contents the importer must have converted these to 000.0000 and -000.000 etc.
    the result is a blank map is showing. Ideally I only want a map shown if i add the address.
    How can I over come this issue?
    Thanks in advance!!

    The CSV Import extension is a commercial plugin and the wp.org support forums do not poermit suport of commercial pligin in their support forums.

    Please open a new support ticket in our support forums and I’ll be able to help you out.

    To answer… you should not see a map if you have not added an address. A blank in the import will default to 0.000000 but that alone does not determine of a map will be displayed. If you are importing address field (any) then the address will attempt to geocode the address on import. So, either way you will end up with a 0.000000 or an actual lat/lng.

    As for the map showing, if an entry has an address, even with 0.000000 for the lat/lng, a map will be displayed because on display the address will attempt to be geocoded too.

    Hopefully I have not confused you! The short version is, you will only see a map if you have at least one of the address fields enter with data. The lat/lng does not decide if a map is displayed.

    Thank you so much for your speedy reply!
    Please have a look at the site (https://www.gunnisoncountylibraries.org/gv-wellness-guide/) where you can see blank maps.
    As per your explanation the listings with addresses would default to geo-lookup regardless of 000.000 -000.0000… and therefore display a map, but that actually makes the blank maps scenario more strange.
    I look forward to your reply.
    Thanks,
    Rob
