Ok now I'm just confused. I rebuilt the app to store lat/lon values in the db by geocoding when things are entered into the db. Now the JavaScript just plots things by lat/lon, no geocoding involved. It loads faster but one of the locations still isn't showing up.
"Belfast Bay Inn & Luxury Suites" plotted at 44.4264,-69.0065. If you search just for the mid-coast region, it doesn't appear. If you search for Waldo County, it doesn't appear. If you search for lodging it does. In all three cases it shows up in the php generated JS file exactly as it is meant to and I can't see any bugs in it. Any ideas..?
