Comment on Plot multiple locations on Google Maps by Patrick

Hi Daniel

Take a look at the Google Maps API docs, you should be able to just create multiple Marker objects.

Was wondering what version of Google API are you using(free, business, enterprise?) because I can’t seem to be able to plot multiple points using the free api.

Thanks, I was having to search cities individually for a project and that was slow and tedious. Super helpful!

Hi Carey

Thanks, I’m glad you like it! Numbering the markers is the top of my to-do list for enhancements to the site. I will also think about printing options.

Hi Yuri

I just tried your new addresses, and they plotted successfully. Sometimes, when the site is busy, it reaches its quota from Google for looking up new addresses, and the lookups fail. Trying again later usually works. You may have the best luck either early in the morning or later in the evening, when the site is less busy.

Thanks!

Hi Adam

This happens sometimes when the site is busy, and has reached its quota for looking up new addresses in Google. Old addresses that have already been looked up by the site will continue to work, but new ones will fail. I am working on a fix for this, but I’m not sure when it will be ready.

In the meantime, you can keep trying to plot your addresses. You may have better luck in the mornings or evenings, when the site is less busy. Once an address is plotted successfully, though, it will continue to work, so if you create a saved map, you can give out the address, and people will be able to access it.

I really appreciate your site – I use it to visualize locations of polling places for pickups and deliveries of election equipment and then use findthebestroute.com to find the most efficient routes. If you guys could collaborate you would really have a marketable product…I’ve come up with some ways to extract addresses from a spreadsheet and feed them to google’s route mapping function via the URL, but your work has save me many steps. The improvements that I see that would really enhance it is a printing function, other than right-clicking and printing, where you could get a full page map, and the numbering or color coding of the markers. Thanks again for all your work!

For some reason I cannot map new addresses – my old saved map still works (http://gmaps.kaeding.name/saved/Nurseries%20Around%20Indio), and when I paste these old addresses or any subset of them, they work too. But for the new set of addresses I get a response

Points not mapped. I could not interpret these addresses. You can try again below.

It doesn’t matter which new addresses I use, I cannot map any of them, same error… pretty bizarre

Here is my new set:

23717 S Hawthorne Blvd Torrance CA 90505 { 588–800.00 660–889.90 }
23133 Hawthorne Blvd Torrance CA 90505 { 456–501.60 474–521.40 525–577.50 717–788.70 }
3711 Lomita Blvd Torrance CA 90505 { 607–940.85 }
3812 Sepulveda Blvd Torrance CA 90505 { 553–989.87 }
3825 Del Amo Blvd Torrance CA 90503 { 365–657.00 }
3828 Carson St Torrance CA 90503 { 406–832.30 }
22330 Hawthorne Blvd Torrance CA 90505 { 652–815.00 }

And this is a subset of the old addresses:

21425 Sky Ridge Ave Desert Hot Springs CA 92241 { SKY NURSERY (760) 251-3257 }
72235 Painters Path Palm Desert CA 92260 { MOLLERS GARDEN CENTER (760) 346-0545 }
45350 San Luis Rey Ave Palm Desert CA 92260 { LOTUS GARDEN CENTER (760) 404-1949 }
40595 Carter Ln Bermuda Dunes CA 92203 { CORONEL EZEQUIEL (760) 200-9305 }
78790 Darby Rd Bermuda Dunes CA 92203 { ALL COLOR GROWERS NURSERY (760) 200-5747 }

The format is exactly the same. I tried saving as plain text, saving as excel tab separated values, removing comments – no difference.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance, it’s a wonderful tool

Yo dude. . . I must say, I have used your map multiple locations, but the last two times I try, it can’t seem to map anything. Only the adresses come up as ‘points not mapped’. I put them in exactly the same way as before and no luck your map site rocks, but it doesn’t seem to work anymore

Hi Chris

Yes, I replied to your email and removed your maps.

Thanks!

I love this mapping feature. Is there a way to erase the info later once you have posted it?

You are a God.

Saved my butt.

I just got a new job photographing pre-foreclosures. They give me 40 a day. There is no Streets and Maps version for Mac. Which means I would have had to eyeball and hand sort these addresses.

I remember the travelling salesman problem from CSE (Computer Science Engineering). As good as i am with the streets of Chicago, this wasnt happening

I am able to copy paste the addresses from excell, map my 40 points, eyeball the on the map, and quickly copy paste the 40 addresses into a word file, in order of which I should visit

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

If I wasnt so broke, I would donate. Or obviously, I wouldnt be driving my old car car around to snap pictures for $3.25 ea. As soon as I am not so broke, you can def count on a donation!!!

Only one request, can you make the map space bigger???? . . vertically? Even though all of my points are only within a 9 sq mile radius, I can only print the map in the window you have created. If i zoom in to get more resolution and street names/street arrow directions, the top and bottom get cut off

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

being able to plot multiple lat/long coords would be useful to me as well.

Hi Carol

I am not aware of any reason why it shouldn’t be working, and it just worked for me for a test address, but I will follow up with you via email to see if we can straighten it out. There have actually been a couple of people emailing me about issues like this lately, so hopefully I can get to the bottom of it.

Thank you for gmaps – we use it to route our trucks and love it – however lately it’s not been working — seems not to be able to find addresses therefore it won’t map all the addresses – thought at first that it was just a glitch in out makeup, but after a week of it not working, thought we would pass it along to you to see if you had any ideas.

Comment on New England Apple Ale Recipe by Patrick

Patrick — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 14:59:35 +0000

Hi Ryan

I think it was a little less than 5 gallons of beer when I racked to secondary, but I used a 6 gallon carboy, so there was enough room. There wasn’t a whole lot of headroom, but the fermentation at that point, even with the added sugar source, wasn’t too vigorous. But, if you are worried about not having enough space in your carboy, I would suggest trying to shoot for a little over 4 gallons going into the primary, since you should plan to leave some behind with the yeast and hops particulate that settles out during primary fermentation. Also, if you have any extra that won’t fit into secondary, you can always just rack it into a pint glass!

Patrick – Did you make 4 gallons of beer, then add the 1 gallon of cider to make 5 gallons combined? I am thinking of doing it that way and adding the cider near the end of primary.
