OK, I been looking around, OpenStreetMap may be the fix to get coordinates from, info here https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim I don't have a working linux machine with puppy at the moment, if someone with the inclination to fix this and would like to, I'm sure others would appreciate it. This code should work to get the required info. The Google map download still works, the only thing that appears to be the problem was retrieving location data to acquire the map. Where there's a will there's a way
Edit: it looks like they have now activated the requirement for a api key to access the maps too, worked fine this morning, OpenStreetMap may be the only hope. _________________ Carolina: Recent Repository Additions  |

I declare Locator officially dead, googles grab for cash and world domination is to blame.

Yes it's similar, but just as Google has done it cost money for a key. I looked at Openstreetmap tile servers but they are pretty basic with no detail. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tile_servers 
A search for location json file is easy to get from openstreetmap, the problem is displaying a map. I couldn't find a way of extracting the map from the webpage, the "#map=16" is the zoom level, there is no satellite view. https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/-24.8894/152.3197 _________________ Carolina: Recent Repository Additions |

I stumbled across Overpass API, only looked at it very briefly, might be useful: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API _________________ https://bkhome.org/news/ |
