    Noticed something very odd with an address today (running latest version of WP and EME). The Location preview showing in WP -> Events -> Locations for this address: “The Municipal House, Náměstí Republiky 5, Prague” is showing the correct location but the one shown on http://opusosm.com/calendar/?event_id=150 is a miles off. Any ideas?

    Well .. I tested it here, and it seems to work. 2 things though:

    – I first found out the locations update didn’t happen anymore in the new-event window: has been fixed in trunk

    – then I saw something weird: in the edit event window: google found the location, but after entering “prague” it suddenly showed nothing: it seemed to me one of the google servers had problems …

    So I would say: try again by editing a letter (add/remove a space) in the location info, save and see what is the result. In the mysql database (table wp_dbem_locations), I have this as the latitude/longitude coordinates for this location (these are the ones used when an event is shown but not when editing it, then these are fetched from google servers):

    latitude: 50.0876

    longitude: 14.4282

    Also: you can always try the trunk version, and see if it happens then:

    Just tried again as you said by editing a letter and re-saving and it solved it. Thanks for the explanation of how the coords are used, I’ll check some more of the Locations used as I had something exactly the same happen a few weeks ago with another Location. Is it worth me flagging it up to Google?

    Well, I don’t think Google would care, and it’s not even sure where exactly the error is … also, very difficult to reproduce, so it’s hard to write up a bug report for it. So for now I would say: always check your events/locations after saving them 🙂
