Completing coordinates - RsH - 17.11.2010
Using prerelease version 105 I inserted a new position between Position 1 and Position 2, then moved it up to precede position 1, as a new starting position. I moved it to the location I wanted it at.
Of course the position was named for the nearest identified location, so I tried complete coordinates. It move the position from where I had located it to the corner of Yonge and Sheppard, which is what the assigned name said it was... it was now, effectively, on the sidewalk <grin>...
To continue my experiment, I renamed that new position 'Position 0' and again did a complete coordinates. Suddenly the point was moved to The Netherlands, in Eindhoven, and when I asked the program to give me the name it told me position 0 was at Marathon Eindhoven, 5611 Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
I then deleted position 0, which now had that name in Eindhoven, to get back to a list starting with the original Position 1. However what happened was Position 1 was renamed Marathon Eindhoven, 5611 Eindhoven, The Netherlands even though it retained the correct latitude and longitude, in North York, Ontario. That renaming of Position 1 with the name of the deleted position should NOT have happened, in my view. So I deleted that name and typed in Position 1 once more.
I leave it to you to find out if this only happens when one deletes the first position in a list... I found this by accident, and it likely will rarely occur, but naming a point in Canada as if it were in the Netherlands is a bit strange.

I couldn't reproduce it here. The main effort is on Google's side here: RouteConverter sends requests to geocode positions and inserts the answer.
Can you reproduce it? With which coordinates?

I was able to reproduce it and sent you, via direct email, the log file which shows the jump to the Netherlands from Canada. I couldn't send the log file as an attachment. I've done it at least 3 times, with version 103 and with version 105. I sent a step by step description of exactly what I did... I posted this step by step in the forum but it seems to have disappeared! Let me know if you need a repeat of the steps and I will do it once more.

I've played around with your 10 11 14 182405Z 203628Z test.gpx but couldn't reproduce it. Anyway, seems to be a Google problem :-(
