When I go to the Find Routes tool, I receive "Error getting location 'x'" (where x=whatever I type in the location field) no matter what I type in for a location. I've tried city,state, address, zip code and get the same thing no matter what I search on.

Running Windows 7 Pro SP1 32 bit

Occurs in both Firefox 6.0.2 and IE 8

johnnypebs!

Good to see you here!

The address to latitude/longitude translation is provided by Yahoo's geocoding service. I wasn't aware that Yahoo deprecated this service and it looks like Yahoo has discontinued it. I switched the location lookup to their new service url. The fix is being uploaded to the site right now and should be available in a few minutes.

It seems to be doing it again.

This still does not work.

The only work-around I know is to change your default location to the place you want to search.

My goodness! I can't believe I missed this for so long. I fixed the problem a while ago, but on a separate code base. The change was never merged to the release code. Anyway, it should be fixed for good now.
