Location data not being loaded properly #56

Closed adm-gis closed 1 year ago

adm-gis commented 1 year ago

I think that the recent update to the Kijiji App came with a change to mapping/location services or at least the way the data are being read into the app. When I post an ad through Kijiji-Manager, my location is now incorrect (it has been working great for over a year now). I then tried posting through the regular Kijiji app on my browser and my location is correct.

I've tried changing my postal code in Kijiji-Manager with no luck. I've also tried adding more info to the open text location field in Kijiji-Manager, but that didn't work either.

Any thoughts?

Location coordinates for an ad are derived from the postal code provided, and no other input field. The pgeocode package is supposed to do this lookup so if there is a problem I would suspect it relating to that.

ok thanks for the suggestion

Personally I am able to still post new ads using my own postal code and it is able to get the correct location coordinates for it to appear on the ad itself.
