Store Locator Module for your Dotnetnuke Website!

Please Note: On October 15, 2009 Google Updated their Maps API.

This change required an update to the ROLocator Module. If you have purchased our locator module in the past you can login and download the latest version 1.09. Or, you may also download and install the Trial Version for 1.09 and use your existing license key to unlock the full product. Please contact us at support@geosprawl.com if you have additional questions.

FAQ's - click a question to view the answer

Q1.
Can the zoom levels on the Embedded Maps be adjusted?

Q2.
When entering one of our store locations it only offers US and Canadian states in the drop down box but we are based in a different country. Is there a way to customize this?

Q3.
We have 3 different divisions in our business. Is there a way we can isolate each division within a search. For example;

A. our searchers will need to go to one page to find a Legal Assistant,
B. they will go to another page to find an Accountant,
C. they go to another page to find a Lawyer

Q4.
The module successfully installed, and I obtained a valid Google Maps API key. However, whenever I try to add a new store location it gives me an error regardless of what zip code I use. Here is the error:

The zip code entered was not found or the Google API Geocoding Service is unavailable. Please try again or check that you've entered a valid Google Maps API Key on the Search Options page.

Q5.
The address when linking through to Google to bring up the full page map or print driving directions is not bringing up our correct location or sometimes the distance being calculated is incorrect.

Q6.
We are not located in the US and therefore we would like our distances to be calculated in Kilometers versus Miles. Can this be done?

Change Log

GeoSprawl Locator Module Version 1.0.9

Fixed geocoding issue caused by a change in the Google Maps API (search results were coming back empty).
No longer force a zip/postal code to be entered. This is no longer a required field as some countries do not use this value.

GeoSprawl Locator Module Version 1.0.8

Allow the user to over-ride the geocoded values and enter their own Latitude and Longitude for a particular location. There are 2 new textboxes that allow you to input custom coordinates and skip geocoding.
New "Active" flag capability. Any locations marked as Inactive won't show up in the search results.
Fix for the Get Directions button on the location 'Details' page. If the custom fields on the page were set to be displayed as HTML rather than plain text, after the Get Directions was clicked, the custom field values disappeared from the page.

GeoSprawl Locator Module Version 1.0.7

Enhanced geocoding capability.
