Geocoding

Geocoding services

This page allows you to manage geocoding services that allow the software to detect location coordinates based on the address (country, state, city) to enable search by distance.

You may install and enable several geocoding services at the same time which will be executed in the order of priority, starting from the highest to lowest. If the first geocoding service is unable to detect location coordinates, system will move on to the second one, and so on.

Upload geocoding libraries

If you haven’t uploaded your geocoding library files yet, you may upload them to the “application/libraries/geocoding” folder on your server.

For example if your geocoding library comes with “googlemaps.php” file, after uploading them you should have “application/libraries/geocoding/googlemaps.php” file present and you should also see it in control panel. If you don’t see it, it means you did not upload it correctly.

Geocoding service configuration

See below for instructions on how to enable integration with the following services:

Testing services

You may click on “Test address” link in the top right corner to be able to check if geocoding services you enabled are working correctly. Each service will be executed and results displayed.
