Geocoding is Broke

Google offers a service that turns Street Addresses into Lat/Long which is referred to as geocoding. They have recently made changes that breaks my code on ProximityCast until I can get around to fixing it.

Latitude and Longitude still works correctly.

Enter: New Orleans, LA and you will get error messages displayed.

Enter: 30 -91 and it will work properly.

You can easily find Lat/Long of a location from Google Maps. See this blog post for how to do it.

Until I can wade through the changes I need to make to get geocoding fixed I'm sorry for any inconvenience anyone may have.

This is a good point about being in hobby mode: no rush.

Regards,

Founder out!
