Hello,

I have obtained my key from Google.
I have geo encoded 4 photos in one of my galleries:

http://rqf.smugmug.com/gallery/1503409/1/72105511

The "pins" show up on my homepage map here:

http://rqf.smugmug.com/

But, when I click on "map this" or on a pin in the homepage map, the link is always directs me to Google default location in California.

What am I doing wrong?

Just tried this for the first time today.

I started getting the same thing today while testing the status of some earlier problems.

I figured with all of the other problems lately that this could wait. So I took the map off my home page.

Hi,
I have the same problem with my map for recently added photos in my Spain 2004 gallery. I can see the little green smugmug faces on my homepage map but when I click on them there are no pictures and the smugmug markers disappear. My older mapped photos work fine.

Here are a few of the links that do not work:

Andy,

Here is a gallery:

http://docwalker.smugmug.com/gallery/1329437

Any of the photos in here you try to map are being sent to California when you try to map them from the Gallery page.

In addition to mapping to California these photos are also still causing other problems.

When you look at my homepage, these photos are plotted in Uzbekistan. If you remember, we have discussed this before. My workflow process dropped the "-" in the westing. I have manually corrected these same photos at least 6 times and they keep getting moved. It looks like 1 a day. I go in and add the "-" to the coordinates and they move back to where they belong. Give it a day or two and they move back to the east.

Don was working on a fix to stop the automated process causing it: http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=34036

I think this is two seperate problems. But, the combination has forced me to to give up on mapping for now. I have turned on the map this morning to allow you to test. Once you get a chance to test, please let me know so that I may turn it back off. I would rather not have mapping turned on if the the plotting is incorrect.
