ooh thank you.
I've not had time to do anything much on it for the past couple of days
>> It's working as well as mapping/database information allows for me now
lol.. that is very strange - because I havent done anything on version 1 or 2 and had started a brand new version 3 on which I was trying to sort the problem that you were seeing astral.*
Version 1 is mostly postcode based. version 2 was soley longitude and latitude based whilst version 3 is going to be a hybrid, but I hadnt uploaded that yet (being on dial up last night made doing any testing impossible.)
*for some reason google API was nulling astrals address on long/lat
*google was nulling Mikes exchange postcode
therefore I wanted to pull something together that was a combination of the 2.. Unfortunately that part of the prog does rely soley on the info in google maps database therefore I'm a bit stuck as to what it sends me back.
It actually makes 3 data requests to google
- one for the map.
Then one for the straight line distance.
Then another for the driving distance... the API is still apparently not fully out of development by google and they
quoteThe API is new, so there may be bugs and slightly less than perfect documentation. Bear with us as we fill in the holesAstral if you want to PM me your postcode (dont need your phone no) then I can have a better look first hand to see what its doing.
