Thanks Rob,
This is an interesting information, I'm just discovering Google Map API and
related...

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
by
Google)

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
to
an address as a point that has the specificity you'd be assigning.

I will need to add Latitude and Longitude fields in PostalAdress. Could this
be a change commited ?
I will also need to add a type PHONE_HOTLINE in ContactMechPurposeType.
Else, of course I will use
Thanks
