I’m getting a NOE when adding an address to a webmaplocation object. The message is “Status: OVER\_QUERY\_LIMIT”. So I tried adding my google api key to the location first. Now I’m getting “Status: REQUEST\_DENIED” which I’m assuming means I haven’t enabled the correct api for the key supplied. Which API should I enable? ---

File a bug report about that and we’ll look into it. It may be that Google has changed something on us. ---

@Greg O’Lone does the api get called if the webmaplocation object is created with the latitude/longitude constructor? I’ve created my own geocode class to convert the address to location using my api key, but still need to use webmaplocations to place the objects on the map. ---

At least in the short term I can roll my own geocoding module & pass the location details to the webmaplocation object to display on the site. Thanks for your assistance Greg. ---
