We need to use the new Google API: [link]
We also need an API key. The API key that we were using is invalid.
I'll be in my bunk.

No, wait, we don't need an API key. Hold on. Let me figure out this PHP.

OK, if everything is working now, I should be in Madagascar.

Users will have to manually update their locations again, though.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It's working for me now. Thanks, Tom!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Yes! Thank you, Scola!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Cool! Thanks, Tom.

So there's another issue. It doesn't appear to allow a negative (southern) latitude to be recorded. It does recognize the sign on longitude, but not latitude. It's probably on our end, that our processing of the data is dropping the leading sign, but it could be the API.
Also, for future reference, it appears that Google maps will not let you put a pin in a stretch of open ocean. I'm guessing that it can only put a pin in a spot if there is actual land there.
