Geocode lookup doesn't update on address change
February 07, 2008, 05:48:55 pm
Mapping works fine, but when a contact's (address) details are changed I think it should update the geocode results.

Currently (1.9) this doesn't happen - verified on demo.civicrm.org as well as our live install.

To demonstrate:
 1. Update a contact's address details, so that a latitude and longitude are set for the address.
 2. Change the contact's address details to a different address.
 3. Verify that "Map this address" still directs the user to a map of the old address.

Clearing the stored lat/long values before saving doesn't appear to help - it doesn't trigger a new lookup, but it does remove the "Map this address" link (of course).

Am I doing something wrong, or should this be added as an issue to JIRA?

chris:

can u try this on sandbox.civicrm.org and ensure that the issue is present in 2.0. If this is reproducible, please file an issue. You might want to ensure that sandbox does do valid geocoding on creating a new contact

thanx

lobo

Hi Lobo, thanks for the reply.

Editing an existing contact in the system (Test Test in sandbox) didn't work. (This contact's NZ address links to a map in the US)

Creating a new contact, mapping them, then changing address and mapping them again (Nijo Lakaaakra in sandbox) works as expected.

Something is not right, but the results aren't consistent enough to make the issue obvious it seems.
