TOPIC: Co-ordinates?

In my line of work, some locations have no real address.
I am aware of the possibility of adding positions by draging the marker around, but when the quantity is suddenly 50 spots it is a bit tricky getting this accurate when there are no streets etc nearby to get a correct position fix.

As chance would have it, most of the places I am thinking about are registered with co-ordinates.
But, I am a bit stumped as to how to add this.. :/

I know that by using Google Maps, co-ordinates can be seen by sending a position through the Mail function. But this method is super time consuming.
Any short-cuts, thoughts or advice?

You can enter the coordinates in the backend manually. Or am I misunderstanding the question?

Hi,

I have the same problem. Whenever I enter co-ordinates, which are not a street address, the marker shifts to the nearest "Google-known" location, which is quite far away, sometimes.
I added in the backend the correct co-ordinates, but they where chamged by Google...

Do you see a possibility to:

1. add possibility to enter co-ordinates in the frontend
2. let the co-ordinates in the choosen location


Thanks for consideration of the above

Have you made the changes from the following thread:
compojoom.com/forum/27-hotspots/52-newbi.../9658-marker-offroad

Interesting... hehe, not sure why I didn't see this earlier! Sorry...
But yes, I added the co-ordinates through the backend, and even though it was off-road, the exact spot was correctly added. Thanks! :=D

Hi Daniel,

I did not realize this thread either..., but now I've done the modifications for both, back- and frontend, and it works.

Thanks for your patience and great support.

Merry Christmas to all of you
