List, The current GRAMPS manual states that right clicking on a highlighted place in PLACES VIEW will display a drop down menu with "GOOGLE MAPS" listed as an option and an arrow that will list other maps to select. This is not what I am seeing. The only option on the drop down menu is "LOOK UP WITH MAP SERVICE" that spawns this web page. http://gazetteer.openstreetmap.org/namefinder/ Why is this? |

Maybe the manual is misleading. If you select map service from the menu. You can switch between GoogleMaps, OpenStreetMap and some localized map service. Then right clicking on a place (with coordinates) and selecting "Look up with Map Service" will show the location on the map in a browser window. At least that's how it works for me. /Peter |

Peter, Hmmm.........I have tried right, left and center "LOOK UP WITH MAP SERVICE" and it spawns the url that I listed. I have no other options. I would like to hear from other GRAMPS users. Is this working for them?

Peter, I just now realized you added (with coordinates) to your post. I do not have these for my places. Does this effect functionality?

The result depends a little of what map service you use. Your post lead me to a minor bug in EniroMaps. Thanks! There it's enough to have city or street + city defined, if you don't have coordinates. Both GoogleMaps and OpenStreetMap will give you a map if city is given. I'm not sure of the details in this case. /Peter > On Sun, Nov 29, 2009 at 12:45 PM, Peter Landgren <pet...@te...>wrote: > > Den Sunday 29 November 2009 19.01.03 skrev . .: > > > List, > > > > > > The current GRAMPS manual states that right clicking on a highlighted > > > > place > > > > > in PLACES VIEW will display a drop down menu with "GOOGLE MAPS" listed > > > > as > > > > > an option and an arrow that will list other maps to select.

Peter, I put in a place with a proper name and address, minus the zip and nothing changed.I have no choice as to what map service I want to use. Would someone else post and state how/if this works for them?

In Places, right clicked an address. Up on the gramps menu bar appeared a loading OpenStreet with a down arrow next to it. I had three Choices in the down arrow - Google maps, OpenStreetMap, and Eniromaps. Selecting Google brought up a browser with the googlemap. It seems to work fine.

Geoff, You sure did help. You are the first persons or document to mention that the Maps Menu is located in the tool bar. I wonder if this is in the documentation. Or, did I just miss it. A small screen and it won't be seen. I found it. It was not there prior to using this feature. It is partially working but this is probably an issue on my end. Thanks for all of the responses.

Michael, No I have not. I do not have that installed yet because I was advised it was not stable yet. I did determine the problem. I was using the Maps Menu incorrectly. I had made the assumption that simply selecting a map from the maps menu would spawn it. By playing with it I found that I had to first select the map I wanted to use then right click the highlighted place and finally select the map option on the drop down menu. I was missing a step. So now everything is working fine. I am looking forward to using the GeoMaps in the future and have been monitoring the list for feedback.

Please, update the wiki manual, it still refers to the 3.0.x way of doing a map. You indeed can select the mapservice to use for lookup in the toolbar. But once selected, you can just click the icon of the mapservice or if your toolbar shows names, the name of the service, to go to the relevant web page. So the right-click to make it work is possible, but is not really needed. > > > > On Sun, Nov 29, 2009 at 4:00 PM, Michael Lightfoot > <mic...@pc...> wrote: >> >> On Monday 30 November 2009 05:01:03 . . wrote: >> > >> > The current GRAMPS manual states that right clicking on a highlighted >> > place >> > in PLACES VIEW will display a drop down menu with "GOOGLE MAPS" listed >> > as >> > an option and an arrow that will list other maps to select.
