Hi Rob

Thanks for the quick reply.

hmmm… it sort of works.
If you have a look at: http://www.geonames.org/maps/google_-33.749_18.552.html (and zoom in), you’ll notice that the club house is next to the field, but miles from any road (access is via the north east at -33.747555 18.558394).

However; the maps plugin at the same co-ordinates ( -33.74898 18.55156 ) or ( -33 44.939 18 33.094 ) (either format works btw) situates the club at the closest road to the west (-33.747216 18.546374). Unfortunately this is a highway and there is no option to turn around for a couple of miles.

Have a look at (-33.74898 18.55156) on maps.google.com and then set up a test venue with the same co-ordinates)

In addition to the GPS co-ordinates, if you specify:
1. a city, then it centers on the city
2. a state or province, then it centers on the state or province
3. a country, then the map does not show at all

Could you guys add an optional GPS co-ordinates field to the address so that if it is completed then the map uses those co-ordinates. This would allow us to also then specify an address for visual purposes, and yet still have the map.

Is there any way to get google not to jump to the closest ‘marker’ ?

Cheers
Rob
