Jacques,Wouldn't it make more sense to use the google geocode methods to get the lat/long from an address rather then store that info in ofbiz?

Hi Chris, It was a long time :o), thanks for comments I need them to use with Google Map. To do something like http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/examples/marker-simple.html you can see there map.setCenter(new GLatLng(37.4419, -122.1419), 13);Hopefully I will be able to do something general enough to be reusable (should not be too hard, the tough part is already done byGoogle) Jacques From: "Chris Howe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>I wasn't going to comment on this because I don't think I have the time available to see the discussion through to the end, but after reading David's "Data Model Changes Post", I'll toss my two cents about this.What are you wanting to ultimately do with Lat/Long? From my experience with GeoServer earlier this year, storing Lat/Long values is rather inconvenient when doing computations and placing points (and polygons) on Maps. It was much more convenient to store these points in the manner prescribed by postgis and using the methods that are provided in those kinds of packages. Also, as far as data modeling, it's somewhat innacurate (although depending on your application, possibly within acceptable bounds) to refer toan address as a point that has the specificity you'd be assigning.

I will also need to add a type PHONE_HOTLINE in ContactMechPurposeType.Else, of course I will use Thanks Jacques
