Not seen that, but you can use google maps to give you the latitude and longitude. I find that is more accurate sometimes.

i can get it to work, but only if i fill in the longtitude and latitude, which i can get no prob, but bearing in mind i have around 300 points on the map to find on 3 apps, it will take to long to input each one individually, it used to work, i think its something to do with the plugin not being updated for the new buzztouch

Don't know the answer to that one, I don't have the snippet keeper. While you are looking at this, you might want to think about moving all your map data to download from a text file instead of the control panel. It might be easier to manage and also, there is a 'feature' that the control panel won't edit more than 300 items. You can copy your existing map info out of the config.txt file, put it in a different text file, manage it with an editor and keep the result in your control panel documents area. There are a couple of forum posts that cover this, and the the map plugin documentation is good too. Assuming the idea appeals of course...

yeah thought so, i have aps with 300+screens, but i would never put more than 20+ things within a screen, it would take 2 long to load, thanks for the heads up on the map info, will look at that external link thanks
