When I use the API to add GeoMaps coordinates, every group is plotted off the west coast of Africa. I have to go into the group, click after the last number, press space, then backspace and it will plot correctly.
I have had this happen on numerous occasions when typing the numbers in manually as well. The format of the coordinates is latitude,longitude
Thanks

Hello,
may I ask, which exact version of PRTG are you using?
best regards.

When you change location via api, you have to set both location_="name of the location" and lonlat_="[longitude,latitude]", because the api performs no geolookup.
If your locations are positioned somewhere in the Gulf of Guinea, this simply means that your lonlat is [0,0].

Dear Andy,
this is by design.
Due to the geo location provider's terms of use, we may only query the geo location lookup service from a graphical user interface.
If you use the PRTG API to fill in the Location information, we're simply not allowed to automatically query geo information for any clear text locations you submit.
So, when adding location information via the PRTG API, please use geo locations together with the location name. For example, use:
/api/setobjectproperty.htm?id=<OBJECT ID HERE>&name=location&value=New York
/api/setobjectproperty.htm?id=<OBJECT ID HERE>&name=lonlat&value=74.007118,40.714550
As of PRTG Network Monitor 13.3.5.2576 or later, there is a new API call to set the geo location of an object. Please see this article for details.
