Good morning to y'all

With Thierry and Elanor's help, I found the reason for the geocoding calls not to work.
I am connected to internet thru a 4G router (Huawei B818) and a new SIM card (issued Dec 20). That SIM card only has a IPv6 address and no IPv4 address . It seems to be the norm nowadays ...

I will try all this over the weekend and come back to y'all on Monday

Thanks and best regards

Thierry,

Are you the Thierry who used to work with Hypercard??? Loooong time ago...

And my key works fine with launch or directly with the browser :mrgreen:

I also tried different addresses from my short App. And tried trough the message box too with one ...

liveme, I will try Firefox but I will be away from my Mac for a couple of days. So I'll resume posting the results next Monday.

Thanks to y ...

Yes, good idea, and yes I am aware of the limitations imposed by Google.

The App is used only by a small Volunteer Association (helping teaching sick children) and, thanks god, there are not so many "Customers" in our area.
The number of requests is a few per month, very far from the Google limit ...

Hi guys,

Thanks for your interest in my problem!
To try to answer all questions:
I am running my App on a Mac, only.
The code I am using is:

put "https://maps(dot)google(dot)apis(dot)com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=1+Place+du+Capitole+31000+Toulouse+France&sensor=false&key= my_Key " into ...

Hi,
I am a LiveCode amateur and I have a problem that seems to have appeared recently.
A few weeks ago, everything was smooth and OK, but now, I don’t get any answer to my geocoding code line.

Using my usual Google geocoding line (I have the proper API key), https://maps...., returns empty when ...
