What’s up with Chrome?

I love Chrome. Its just the fastest, most efficient way to surf the web in my opinion.

Ironically, Chrome and other Webkit browsers like Safari, are the only browsers that don’t work well copying and pasting from BatchGeocode.com

Pasting into BatchGeocode from Excel works fine, but pasting back to the spreadsheet produces just one field with all the results in it. A workaround, if you first paste the results to a text editor like notepad, then copy/paste those results into a spreadsheet, it works fine.

I’ve registered the bug here, please post on there too if you feel my pain…

New Features List… what’s next? (you tell me)

Well this site remained relatively unchanged from 2006-2009, then in the last couple of months I have done quite a bit:

– Moved to Google Maps API
– Significantly simplified interface
– Graphical upgrades (we got a logo, yay!)
– Added ability to remove maps
– Reverse geocoder interface
– Translations to different languages

I have gotten some positive feedback, and some “constructive” feedback about the changes. Hopefully I have resolved most the issues since the Google Maps move.

Let me know what you think of all these changes and where you’d like to see the site go next. Thanks!
