9.6.15 Load Latitude and Longitude from Google button

 

This batch loads Latitude & Longitude using Google's Geocoding system based on job site street addresses. The Google service limits you to 2,250 requests per 24 hours, so if you have more jobs, load another batch the following day.

 

Each Site needs a valid Street Name, Locality/Suburb/Town, State/Prov and Zip/Post Code for Google to return an approximate Latitude & Longitude. Site coordinates are loaded first for the newest jobs which don't have the Latitude & Longitude set. Once all jobs have coordinates, it updates the job sites that were updated the longest time ago. This follows the reasoning that Google data improves over time and that site addresses may have been revised by a user without them having updated the coordinates.

 

Note, that if a user manually sets the Latitude & Longitude, this batch load will not overwrite them.
