Just been following the excellent tutorial below: Using PHP/MySQL with Google Maps Pamela Fox
I am currently looking to create an international store locator. Whilst this has worked well for uk stores if I add any store in for Europe i.e. France or Netherlands the geocoder object seems to be return some rather strang lat and lng figures. I have located the stores via google maps and obtained co-ordinates via several other geo coders. These have been entered into the database for the addresses held, all good there. However it seems when you use the actual address for the store or a road name, area or province the geocoder returns different co-oridnates that are no where near the actual co-ordinates. The only way I found this out was by search within a 200 mile radius which would then return the position of the store at the wrongly generated co-ordinates. Is there something wrong with the GClientGeocoder() so it returns different co-ordinates than google maps search on exactly the same addresses? Or am I missing a trick here? Or is there newer code that resolves this issue. Any reply welcome.
