TOPIC: Google Maps & Locations outside US

Hi,

I'm using DTRegister in Australia. In the Google Maps view, when clicking on 'Get directions in Google Maps', a US map is generated. Also, in Google maps, the starting point 'A' is populated with the right information from the location I've created. However, the country 'Australia' is not populated.

I checked the settings in the location and country is definitely set to 'Australia'.

Is this a bug or do I need to change any settings?

On another note, on the registration form the 'Country' field is preset to 'United States'. Is there a way to preset it to 'Australia'?

Many thanks
Thomas

hi! I am also interested to know how to pre-set the "country" field to other countries other than the United States. Hopefully someone else will share their wisdom with us

Yes, I have a similar bug with locations outside of the US...

When it shows de location in the ligthbox it is placed wrong but when I click on the get directions the new map is correct.

I corrected this removeing the uhmm, in my country is called "Colonia" y "Delegacion" wich be something like "District" in the US

hi, I was trying to solve the problem, I searched the forum for "default country" and found the following answer from the admin:

This contains the list of countries to choose from. Scroll down to find United States. You'll see:
<option value="United States" selected="selected">United States</option>

Remove the code: selected="selected"

Insert the selected value into the option tag for the country you want to be the default option.

I hope this is what you were looking for.
