Map Coordinates Wrong in Frontend was created by Anthony Mezas
All Frontend Coordinates (pins) are being displayed wrong in the Map Search.
In the admin panel they are all correct and in the detail page they are also showing correctly.

Is this a bug ?

Hi,
Thank you for your report. We have checked the Google map API function and we found the different between 2 Google map API about the location of maker.
At the backend, we use the Google map API of Google
At the front-end, we have Jquery Google Map API
And 2 above libraries return a bit different places for the same lat long address.
We have the proof for this problem.
Please open it:
osproperty.ext4joomla.com/gmaptesting/demo/marker.html (Google map API)
and
osproperty.ext4joomla.com/gmaptesting/demo/marker.php (Google Map JQuery API)
You can see the bit distance for one maker (You can view source code of 2 pages to see they have the same coordinates)
The main problem is because we want to have the layout as map view, so we should use Google Map Jquery API at front-end while we need simpler Google map layout for backend, so we should use Google Map API for back-end.
Again, we are sure this issue doesn't come from OS Property, it's difference between 2 Google API libraries.
Thanks
Dam

Dam,

I understand that you have chosen to use the Jquery Google Map API to display on the front end, and Google API for the back end and detail page.

Please understand in Real Estate, the map view is important to indicate where EXACTLY the property is located.
Like this the map on the front end is unreliable. If the API-library according to you is incorrect due to Google. I suggest you show me how to use the same (one one) Google API in front and back in OSproperty. I can not wait on a new release for this.

Thanks for understanding

Hi Anthony,
I can help you to add the map view (of old version) into your OS Property system. But it won't nice as current now. Are you ok for me to do it?
Thanks
Dam
