My 'View Map' links are not working correctly. Why ?

Map URLs in our software are given for sample purpose only and are links to 3rd party mapping service(s).

Yahoo Maps work with USA and Canada only now ( see http://maps.yahoo.com/ to verify ).

The map link in Esvon Classifieds is hard-coded URL with placeholders for city, zip/postal code and address, e.g. :

http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?Pyt=Tmap&addr=##f_addr##&csz=##f_city##&Get+Map=Get+Map

You can update this map link according to your city/address/zip fields defined.
If you don't have such fields please remove this link from your template.

If you need maps functionality to work for other countries,
you can find map provider of desired countries or worldwide maps (look at http://www.multimap.com)
and modify "View Map" link according to their rules. This link can usually be found in details.htm template, see Admin Area -> Templates (select the necessary fieldset there).

Google Maps link examples:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=##f_addr##+##f_city##+##f_zip##
http://local.google.com/maps?near=##f_zip##
