2.5c Released
Well, it looks like I'm getting a decent amount of people to subscribe to this blog via email. 2.5 was a fairly major upgrade and as such several problems have arisen. Hopefully I've worked out most of the bugs in the newest release (2.5c) If you are having problems then you might want to grab it. The newest feature is import from flat text files. You have to use the following format:
[markerType]|[catId]|[name]|[address]|[city]|[state]|[zipcode]|[country]|[misc]|[lat]|[lng]
You must make sure your misc field has no line breaks (\n) or else you'll break the importer. Finally, if you leave [lat] or [lng] blank then the addresses will be automatically geocoded! Finally a line break at the end or beginning of the file may break the importer. Also, if you have a lot of addresses in France, Spain, Italy, or Germany then the geocoder will stop working and you'll have to wait 24 hours for it to start up again.
