Thread: Google Map - Geocoding after CSV import and marker in map problem

Google Map - Geocoding after CSV import and marker in map problem

We installed and tested your theme and we are almost lucky with it.
Except a few things, maybe bugs:

• Geocoding after CSV import
  We imported 1800 items through the CSV import. All items were imported and everything looked fine. Except the geocoding. We imported with no geo data, but with full addresses. But at almost all imported items the geocodes were missing. When we klicked at the "find adress button" in the admin backend, the address was found by google and after saving the item was geo coded. Does the geo coding function does not work alone by itself? Do we have to find all addresses manual in the backend? Or do we have to wait until some cronjobs finish the geo coding? When does the geo coding is done, directly after the import? Shouldn´t be so difficult to get the right geo coordinates when the address is complete.
  
• Marker doesn´t show up on map
  Another issue is, that the marker does not show up, when the Google Map has an entry as own entry at the same location. In this case the marker disappears on the map. And not just the one marker, all markers from all other items on the list also disappear. When we use the zoomin/zoomout, sometimes for a part of a second the map let the markers blink up, but when the zoom finished, they disappear again. This problem just exist, when Google already has an entry with the same coordinates. In the mini map this problem does not exist. Here the marker seems to be on a higher layer stage and show always up correctly.

And then i have a suggestion:
I would love to see a map with all entries. Is this possible? Maybe with a function which groups icons in some regions, if too many icons would be shown. This would enable a new way of "map finding" just by navigation through the map.

Ah, before i forget this one:
We use the Theme also as blog. But if you click at the authors link, the site shows the authors entries. Not so helpfull, if your focus lays on blogging, or if more than one blogger uses the site. I would like to see the authors page in this case. Can we setup this somehow?

Hopefully you can help us with this problems.
Thank you in advance!
Best regards
