Hello

Yesterday we added several new dootronics by cloning.

Interestingly the clone process did not work at the beginning because we received an error message saying that latitude/longitude have to be added in the form of 2 decimals such as 47.34, 8.39

After we cutted the former 6 decimals down to the requested 2 it worked and the clone was created. Now in edit mode still 6 digits are shown (2 plus 4 zeroes) but the in the editable fields there is again the 99999 miscalculation (screenshot of dootronic https://www.labdoo.org/laptop/000008300 attached).

I am wondering if all of this is on purpose, because we feel that 2 digits are not good enough to show the exact position.

Maybe the same is true for the coordinates of our edoovillages?

Thanks for reporting this Frank.

I tried to reproduce it but it worked well for me. I cloned my own dootronic https://www.labdoo.org/content/000008255 and things worked OK. I also tried changing the lat / lon and cloning again and it worked well too.

Two questions Frank:

- Could you tell me the exact steps you follow to reproduce this error?
- Which browser and OS are you using?

Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response. Very strange, we used the latest Windows10 Version with InternetExplorer in our sanitation. We will double check during the next sanitation session...

Hi Jordi,

I cannot report the same error as Frank did, but there are some (not new) problems around the geo-location and Google maps

  • updated dootronics tagged using database 1.0 causes an error message in 2.0; even geo co-ordinates are shown there is a message "add geo location"; copy&paste of shown co-ordinates works
  • state is lost: adding an address the state (not the country) is lost sometimes
  • not showing the right location on the map: sometimes the location is shown as in the middle of nowhere / sea; adding the same address works well next time for another dootronic
  • geo-location added to a dootronics works (nearly) well, the co-ordinates are taken from the address. But adding an edoovillage the co-ordinates have to taken by another program and added manually
  • dootrips: sometimes the algorithm locates start or end of a dootrip in a wrong country. I am aware names of town are not unique, but entering name of the town and country should work, but in some case it does not. Even entered in Germany the starting point is shown in US etc.

I know the geo-location process is complex and part of the component is not programmed by Labdoo. But may-be the remarks help you?
Thanks, Ralf

    Thank you Ralf, i appreciate the summarized list, this will be helpful. Right now i am swamped dealing with many other things in parallel but as soon as i can i will take a look so let's keep this ticket open.
