Subject: GPS-Position
Hi, i have installed the Demo-System with the prayer-connector.
It ist a nice tool.
But in Germany, many towns habe any streets with identical names but different postal codes.
The prayer-connector uses the default Cityname but not the Postalcode from the subtown.
Can you implement a optional additional field with the GPS-Position?
A GPS-Position ist the default for Googlemaps

Would the postalcode be helpful to add? The GPS would be nice, but it takes work to find it -- not something easily done by average person using the Connector.

It is on my list to add more location info on the to-do list for the next version. So thanks for this.

If you have already done it in your code, could you send me a diff or the changed source code? That would be helpful.

Hi Dave,

the postal-code ist helpful - for the first step.

But the GPS-Position needs only two additional Fields:
lat,lon = latitude, longitude
if lat&lon ne zero
then use GPS-Position
else
use other
endif
----- sorry php (and english) ist not my language Assembler, Cobol, C, Fortran, ABAP/4 ---
call:
map.centerAndZoom(new GPoint(lon, lat), zoom);

but lat and lon must be a Position as GG.ggggg (50.77349 8.30127) not as GG.mm.mmm (50 46.409 8 18.076) or other formats

Why i need it?
Any organisations (YMCA or other) do anything with the kids as outdoor aktivity.
But at this place is no street adress ...
see: N50.7447 E8.40234 | past to gm or ge
a place for a bible weekend
or other places for outdoor such as camps for the kids

Its a very nice feature.

hmhm.... i will look to the source....hmhm but php is new for me
ohoho... its not the prayers connector, its WEC simple maps ....
workaround.... you use on gm the lat/lon parameter? then -> if county not in county-list then must be a GPS-Position and go native to gm......hmhm

Regards
Achim
