About 6 months ago, I programmed a dealer locator, based off the store
locator examples given in the documentation. It's programmed in php/
mysql and javascript. Addresses of retail stores are geocoded and the
coordinates stored in a mysql database, then retrieved in XML format
and displayed on the map.

This was created for a client, and seemed to be working fine
previously. Recently, though, they are getting a flood of calls,
primarily from macintosh users, whose searches are not retrieving
results. I have experienced this problem one time on a pc, in google
chrome, of all things, but have not been able to reproduce it. I have
verified that it is a legitimate problem on a mac. I have checked on 4
macbooks, in both safari and firefox, using a verified address that
should return results.

I am at a loss. Since I wrote this right after APIv3 was released, I'm
assuming there have been various bug fixes to the API. Is this a known
issue? Is there a known workaround? I've searched this forum, and come
up empty handed.  If I could get y'all to take a look at this, I would
really appreciate it.

I have stripped the code out of their website for trouble-shooting
purposes. A working (sometimes) demo can be found here:

If you enter the zip code 84770 in the search box, with a 50 mile
radius, you should see 2 results. If that worked for you, try
searching Las Vegas, NV. If you kept your radius at 50 miles, you will
not find a dealer, and will see a javascript alert telling you to
check your address and/or increase the search radius. Increasing your
radius to 250 miles will retrieve results on the las vegas search.

If you're on a mac, chances are you will get the javascript alert no
matter what you search on.

If you need php code, please let me know. You can see all the
javascript by viewing the source of the page. If it helps, you can
verify the XML by going here:

I look forward for your responses.

Thank you,
Blaine
