DarthRanger Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 I am curious if anyone else has issues with the map on the SASS Club search page : https://www.sassnet.com/clubs/index.php ? For as long as I can remember these map pages have not worked for me. No matter which state I click on (map or text) the list changes but the map gives an error of “Geocode was not successful for the following reason: REQUEST_DENIED.” I get the same error when clicking on the name of any one of the clubs. I have tried accessing this information on an iPad using the Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge browsers and from a PC using Chrome, Firefox and Edge browsers. I would certainly appreciate any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong. For what it’s worth, I contacted SASS management about 10 years ago about the maps not working and was told they were aware of it and were going to have it fixed in the (back then) upcoming website upgrade. Having recently moved, I would greatly appreciate learning how to make these maps work.

Singin' Sue 71615 Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 I simply put in SASS clubs in ... into the search engine, and it pulls up the clubs. Question: has anyone sent this information to the SASS office, that it hasn't worked...for years??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 I just click on the “close “ box, ignore the error messages and go to the listed website. FKCGG, bGavin or John Kloehr are pretty high tech and could probably explain why it happens. Regards Gateway Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Yeah just close it and scroll down. Some wizard explained it once. If I remember correctly it is a feature in the software that SASS does not use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Google charges a fee to use certain types of imbedded maps. In the case of the SASS website unless SASS pays Google a license fee the mapping function doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowtown Scout, SASS #53540 L Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 When that search was working it actually gave you a location map to the address of the person who was listed as the contact and not the club location. It is always best to go to the clubs website and look at their location map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Most of the clubs have directions on their websites, no need for that google crap! For example: https://www.browntownshipregulators.com/map https://www.firelandspeacemakers.com/directions/ These are right from the club websites.

Lone Rider SASS#32091 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I have sent e-mails about this several times over the last few years and it still bothers me. Yes, there are ways to get around the error message but why should a potential new member have to do that? We are always talking about getting new members but we have a major issue when someone goes to our website to find a location for a shoot. I don’t think that gives a good impression of our organization to a potential new member. We should make it as easy as possible to get information about our shoots and clubs. It’s been this way for years, it still bugs me, but looks like there is not any incentive to correct it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthRanger Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 Thanks all for your responses and particularly for the links to the google maps that do work. While I am far from an expert I have built a couple of web sites (quite a while ago). And… if this portion of the site is not going to work then the map should be removed. The excuse that it is part of the software that they do not use or that Google would charge them are both rather lame. It might even be similar to throwing a dud round back into the ammo box.

DarthRanger Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 Thanks! Wouldn’t it be wonderful if they just included this link on the SASSNET site instead of continuing with their non-functional version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
