So yesterday I went back to work on the member_geocoder module. Now it only uses Yahoo to map content in China and England, and still uses Google as the primary geocoder. The key improvement is that any content that Google can’t geocode and isn’t in China or England is sent back to Google to with just the country name. This at least plots content in the correct country. And it gets around the issue that sometimes Google can’t geocode content because part of the address (like the street address) isn’t accurate, the content is in a different language, or simply because Google can’t do it for no good reason. I have more notes on the blog: www.developmentseed.org/blog/geocoding/geonames
