Markers are wrong…why?

  • Hello,

    I have written a function that created a shortcode for creating a map with 56 markers on it. The shortcode looks like this:

    [leaflet-map address=”MyCity” zoom=13] [leaflet-marker address=”Firstname Surname, MyStreet 17, 12345 MyCity, DE”]Firstname Surname
    , MyStreet 17, 12345 MyCity[/leaflet-marker] [leaflet-marker address=”AnotherFirstname AnotherSurname, AnotherStreet 18, 12345 AnotherCity, DE”] AnotherFirstname AnotherSurname, AnotherStreet 18, 12345 AnotherCity[/leaflet-marker] … etc. It is written in a string, and later I say echo do_shortcode($str);

    All the addresses are pulled out of the database, and they are correct. I use the Google Geocoder (set in the Plugin Settings).

    There are 57 JavaScript inserts, 1 for the map itself and 56 for the addresses.

    The problem is that some markers just do not appear and some appear at the wrong place, and I have no Idea why this is so.

    When I copy the address and search for it on Google Maps it shows the right location. Just not on my map.

    Why does this happen?

    Thanks!

    unfortunately the google geocoder needs some work since Google has recently made api keys mandatory. I will have to add this optional functionality to the plugin. In the meantime, could you try setting your geocoder to osm nominatum?

    I tried the 2 other geocoders already…they give me terrible results. Nominatum gives me just 1 marker, 3oo kms away. Is there a special way how to prepare addresses to Nominatum?

    Sorry I missed this question: I don’t believe there is a special way to prepare addresses for nominatum. I will look into re-adding google geocoder at some point.
