Question importing GPS data instead of determine geo location

[Jackko]

Hi,
is there a simple way to import existing geo data (lat/lon) rather than have the IP's geolocation ?
I have all my users' lat/lon which I'd like to use. Guess I have to deactivate the cron then too.

UPDATE user SET dbtech_membermap_lat = X, dbtech_membermap_lng = X, dbtech_membermap_scan = 1 WHERE userid = X

Replace the X as needed.

I imported the GPS Data and set the dbtech_membermap_scan=1, which worked well.
Now most users are shown at their location, however some are not shown others cannot move their Icon for the location

Check the user group permissions.

I did check, all OK no success.
What I found is an "e" in some GPS data, like 4.764910136773585e15
When I set lat, lng, scan=0 and do start the cron data is updated correctly.
However, after a while the "e" is back 4.764910136773585e15 in the DB

That is scientific notation. I've no idea if that's meant to be there or not, could be an issue with your server.

Thnaks. I will check with my hosting guy, but can you please confirm if your Software can cope with this "e" or if this might cause errors? At least with my user I can tell, since the "e" is there my Icon is gone...

 

[Fillip H.]

It's not about whether this product can cope with scientific notation, it's whether they are valid coordinates for Google Maps.

 

[Jackko]

stupid I am... of course you are right, and they are not valid

 

[Jackko]

checked with my hosting support, they don't have an idea why this "e" occurs. Seems to be a problem with my degrading VB software... Will drop VB and go to XenForo sooner than planned...
