"Geocode was not successful because of the following reason": ERROR about django-google-maps

[madisona]

Can you post any more info? And do you have GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY = '<SAMPLE_KEY>' set to an appropriate value in your settings?

[mykljohn]

Sure,
yes I have my API key.

in my model:
address = map_fields.AddressField(max_length=200)
location = map_fields.GeoLocationField(max_length=200)

in admin:
formfield_overrides = {
map_fields.AddressField: {'widget': map_widgets.GoogleMapsAddressWidget},
}

The Admin screen comes up and displays the fields and the map in Satellite view (can I change that and center it on a location?) When I enter a city name, it pops up that error msg.

[madisona]

the project expects to update a field #id_geolocation. It looks like you named the field location in your model.

You can try either changing the field name to be geolocation or explicitly set the html id to be id_geolocation.

[mykljohn]

ah ok, same problem. New model:
address = map_fields.AddressField(max_length=200)
geolocation = map_fields.GeoLocationField(max_length=200)

[madisona]

what is the address you're trying to geocode?

[mykljohn]

I just put in the city "Queretaro" without quotes :)

[mykljohn]

and I tried New York...same thing

[madisona]

do you get the same result if you just pull down the django-google-maps project and run the included sample application?

I just pulled it down and ran the sample app without issues on python 27 and django 1.11. both "New York" and "Queretaro" behave as I'd expect.

Sorry, I'll try it this weekend.
