You know what? Some of us don't live in the USA...

Feedback Type:  Troubleshooting Report

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

I downloaded this script in frantic expectancy. It really seems to work fine, but there's a slight drawback: it keeps on trying to find directions between Paris and Clermont-Ferrand on the US map and, as might be expected, fails to do so.

Is it to much to ask from US developpers to bear in mind that people linking to the internet don't necessarily live in the United States, and to include this dimension in their software presentation?

This would prevent non-American people from wasting their time downloading, installing and trying to operate programs that, however excellent as this one seems to be, are totally useless to them.

Sorry if I sound frustrated, but I am.Yet, if I overlooked something either in the presentation or the script itself dealing with this issue, please let me (and a lot of others that are no doubt interested) know.

This is not a limitation caused by MakeMapFromTwoAddresses. At present, Google Maps only maps locations within the U.S. and parts of Canada. Feel free to contact them directly regarding your dissatisfaction.
