Phoca maps not showing exact location

Hi,

When I tried to get the route by entering From(address) and selecting to address, the directions are shown but the 'from(start)' address and the 'to(address)' are taken by default which is not the exact location as given while adding the markers address.

Please tell us the solution for this as early as possible.

Thanks.........

Hi, see other similar posts, routes, points, etc. are fully managed by Google Maps API, so this should be more a question on Google Maps API developer than on Phoca Maps :-( :idea:

Hello,
I've read about possible API errors but please look at my example
At my site the route is shown few km aside the destination, not mentioning its in totally different direction:
http://agroturystyka-roztocze.xcl.pl/kontakt

while on maps.google.com
it look like this:
http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=sosno ... s&t=m&z=13

so can anbody tell me where's the problem? The component reacts the same on j1.5 and 2.5
best regards

Hi, in fact, I cannot give any advice there, Phoca Maps only creates javascript to display maps by Google Maps API, but it never does the rendering of the map, route, markter, etc. :-(

Also suffering from this.. routing fine on googlemaps website, but in comp routed marker location is a few km away from actual marker for which directions have been requested.. anyone know how we can sort this? Not good for customer if directions are to wrong place. :x
I know its not the components fault as there are others out there with similar problems...

Digging into this a bit deeper it seems like there has been a known issue with routing with GM api V3 for quite a while. There are loads of questions out there and even on google's own forums but no answers. Rolling back to GM api V2 seems to fix the issue.
