Is there any specific reason the geotagger plugin "couldnt geotag address"?

I am attempting to geotag quite a large amount of things, could this be a reason? i noticed if i keep trying to geotag the same table more of the skipped ones do get geotagged.

Hi, 

As Tim pointed out, the issue is most likely that you're hitting the daily limit of 2500 calls to the Google geotagging API. You can read more on the limits here:

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/#Limits

The way to get around this would be to convert the addresses in batches of 2000 every day (assuming you don't get more than 500 hits a day on any front end pages that use the geotagging service).

Thanks

Hi Greg,

If I have an existing table with 20000 records, and I want to geotag them all - is there a way that I can limit the plugin to process only 2500 per day?

Cheers,

Hi Tim,

We could customize the plugin to keep track of the number of geocoding requests being made and once it hits a limit, we can stop the plugin from continuing on.  Please email in if you would like us to look into doing this further.

Thanks
