Directions form: Change "Directions To" address from lat/lng to actual address

[grego3781]

Hello,

By default, when the directions window opens, the “Directions To” address field contains the lat/lng for the “To Address”.

Is there a way to show the actual address in this field instead of the lat/lng?

thanks

Hi,

I’m assuming you’re creating the POI by entering an address, then dragging the marker.

If so, this is fixed in version 2.40.8. Previous versions would ‘forget’ the address when a POI was dragged.

With the new version, the plugin should remember the original address for directions, even if the marker is dragged to a new location.

Hi Chris,

I’m actually adding POI’s via a loop using php:

${‘mypoi_’ . $the_count} = new Mappress_Poi(array(“iconid” => $search_term, “title” => $title, “body” => $body, “point” => array(“lat” => $list_locations[‘latitude’], “lng” => $list_locations[‘longitude’])));

Let me know if this clarifies things.

Thanks!

Hi,

OK – then in the loop, I think you just need to set the address:

new Mappress_Poi(array("corrected_address" => "200 Main Street", “iconid” => $search_term, “title” => $title, “body” => $body, “point” => array(“lat” => $list_locations['latitude'], “lng” => $list_locations['longitude'])));

Hi Chris,

Worked like a charm.

One minor correction is that the correct syntax is “correctedAddress” and not “corrected_address”.

I have a couple of other questions. Should I post those here or start a new thread?

thanks for your help!

It’ll make more sense if you start a new thread, or you can email me directly if you like.

I’ll go ahead and start a new thread.

thanks again!
