Name change

With all the other big changes lately, why not change the name?

I have never liked the name “BatchGeocode” … its not really even a name, its a function. Its kind of old school thinking to name your site after what it does. When this service was first launched geocoding was all it was about, but I think we’ve grown way past that.

So I have had this “batchmap.com” domain name for awhile, and always thought some day I would make the switch. Well the day has come, so welcome to BatchMap.com! Hope you like the new name and new interface tweaks.

BTW, the latest changes are:

– Google Map markers now match those in map
– Draggable markers for fixing problem geocodes
– New host, seems a bit snappier to me

Cheers!

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…
