Geocoder - Maps for multiple Addresses Can't Post
I have a listing form that saves multiple addresses and I have longitude and latitude fields set for the first address, what should the field names be for the other addresses so that the Geocoder to recognize them?

Thanks

Hey,

Does the form save all the addresses to a single record in CMS Builder, or are they separate records? For automatic geocoding, the Geocoder is set up to geocode latitude and longditude once for each record.

Thanks,
Robin

They are saved to one record!

That gets much more tricky if they are all one record because it's not automatic. But you can still find the latitude and longitude of any address with the geocodeAddress() function. Here is an example:

Code
list($myLat, $myLng) = geocodeAddress( "1313 South Harbor Boulevard, Anaheim, CA" ); 
echo $myLat . " " . $myLng;

Hope that helps,
Robin
