  • Mia culpa, international users -- Only latin characters are currently supported. Work to resolve this is underway, albeit at a snails pace.

[Latest Release Notes 11/10/08]  
  • Updates & Challenges: Argh.  While MapQuest geocoding is WICKED fast, and currently not rate limited, simply stated, the international address support is sub-par to Google & Yahoo.  Thus, we are again making Google/Yahoo our primaries while using MapQuest as a fail-over  (They are slower, and currently limit us to 20,000 a day).  A bunch of you let us know that your maps were wrongly showing points in Kansas, and this is a reason.  So, with this change, and our current geocoding options, the task of performing daily updates to every map in the system again becomes understatedly challenging.  Thinking caps are back on to conjure up a resolution.  We may try out MS Virtual Earth's geocoder as another alternative.  Cheerio.
