      It ends up on the canary islands, which is where we put devices we can't find a location for.

Ok this is interesting!
I figured out where I end up.... just off the coast off West
Africa..... 
The closest places being Luanda and Congo?
However, the actual Green Location Tag is showing in the North Atlantic
just west of Portugal.
It might be something to do with the String Interpreter?? Or perhaps 
something needs to be adjusted in the code??
I even tried adding the country but no go :-(

Perhaps your google maps part is broken?  Maybe these are different 
issues?
I enter the street address that I would use in google maps in the

the devices in the locations on Observium dashboard :/
Does anyone have an example syntax for a device they have working 
correctly?
Thanks.

Actually just tried on Google Maps directly and it finds the address 
fine.....
My address syntax:
building no. street name, city, zip/postcode

I have this problem too....

It was working perfectly before the upgrade to the version of
Observium OpenSource released this year.

In fact my map just shows a blue screen now..... zooming out
doesn't show land at all?

    Thanks Markus,

    Could you give me an example location that would work in the
    correct notation.  This way I can follow that as a template
    for all our devices.

    Thanks

    Its done by looking in the SNMP sysLocation field of your
    device. If you enter a valid address on your device then
    Observium will map it properly. Any string that Google Maps
    can translate to a location will usually work :)

        Hi Guys,

        On the main dashboard you see a google maps picture.

        None of my devices are displayed correctly on the map.

        How do I specify which devices appear where?  I assume
        it’s to do with the Contact field.

        Thanks guys.
