Query function parses offline entry of coordinates #317

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

What new or enhanced feature are you proposing?

Enhance the query function so that it does not require network connectivity to 
parse user-supplied coordinates. The location function appears to bypass that 
check, and is coordinates-based, so I suspect that offline queries that are 
readily recognizable as coordinates should be able to be used.

What goal would this enhancement help you achieve?

Permit offline display of stored tiles without connecting to the Google server.

Whoop, sorry. Stupid user tricks. I see that Issue 91 already covers this. 
Please dump.

the query also works offline, try the following:
this is the long version:
Latitude=26.130782, Longitude=-80.326538

and here is the short version:
40.329796, -3.768311

that should take you directly to those coordinates

very good! thank you. i suspect i either had the wrong syntax, or forgot
what zoom level i was viewing... something, because this indeed works
exactly as you say. thank you for your patience with my questions. (thanks
too of course for this excellent program. i'm enjoying using it.)
