Hi thank you for the modules and all the help you have provided.
I have a content type with two fields
ne called field_address where the user inputs the street address.
One called field_lat_lng which allows the user to put the latitude/longitute
The user can select only one of these fields.
If I create a view where I set the lat/lng off just one fields I get the map for example just field_address those nodes will show on the map, and there will be errors for the nodes which dont contain any address values, but the locations would be under field_lat_lng.
So if I now switch it around and user field_lat_lng to popuplate the latitude and longitude under the settings for the map display options, I will get markers for all the nodes which have the field_lat_lng filled, and will get erros for the nodes which have the address field completed.
What I have been trying to do is have the view display nodes which have either of the fields completed.
So I thought if I create an extra field in the view and rewrite it to contain both of the fields I could use that to set the latitude and longitude.
But this is not working.
I thought it should have worked, as the user could only select the lat_lng or address field so the new custom field will now display either of those options. When I view the field I get values such as
latitude: 51.49517
Longitude: 0.08806
When I get an error saying none of the rows could have the lat/lng set I get an array underneath with the select field displayed like.
views_custom = Array ( [0] =>
Latitude: 52.3236
Longitude: -2.00368
)
So I am unsure why this is not working.
Could you help me with getting locations from more than one field to work with the views map?
Thank you again

rdeboerHi Noopal,
I believe we can make this work.
I need more details. I have to do quite a bit of reading between the lines here... If I can log into your website that would be even better.
So I'm guessing this field_address is an AddressField (as in the AddressField module). It collects the postal address and then I assume you use Geocoder to convert this automatically to an (invisible) Geofield field?
This field_lat_lon is a Geofield?
And finally can you tell me details of the Rewriting you're doing? Are you rewriting into a third field or into the existing field_lat_lon field?
Can you please post a full screenshot of the page with the yellow warning telling about locations that do not have their lat/lon set?
Have you tried putting "views_custom" for both the latitude and longitude field specifiers in the IPGV&M View configuration panel?
