Hi. I'm running SMW 1.8.0.4, Maps 2.0.1, Semantic Maps 2.0.1.2, Validator 0.5.1 on MW 1.19.4. It looks like distance queries have stopped working. I have: {{#vardefine:lat_long|{{#geocode:SO16 0TH,UK}}}} {{#ask:[[Category:Organisations]][[Coordinates::{{#var:lat_long}} 10km]]|?Headline=|?Address|?Location|?Postcode|?Coordinates|center={{#var:lat_long}}|format=googlemaps|width=920|height=640|forceshow=yes|icon=Flag_red.png|zoom=12|autozoom=off|limit=100|searchlabel=}} and it shows an error: "The following coordinate was not recognized: 50 50' 48" N, 1 28' 9" W 10km" This works on a previous version of the same site running Maps 1.0.5 and Semantic Maps 1.0.5. In fact, even the example at http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_Maps_examples/Distance_query is showing an error. It is only showing anything because the way SMW defaults to outputting all results if the query has an error. Thanks.
I tried putting the distance in brackets like the example (although it's always worked before without) {{#ask:[[Category:Organisations]][[Coordinates::{{#var:lat_long}} (10km)]]|?Headline=|?Address|?Location|?Postcode|?Coordinates|center={{#var:lat_long}}|format=googlemaps|width=920|height=640|forceshow=yes|icon=Flag_red.png|zoom=12|autozoom=off|limit=100|searchlabel=}} But then no map is shown at all.
Even if the parsing part worked, the query code has a bad off by one error in it... The later has been fixed on master, the former still needs tackling.
Thanks for the update Jeroen. Looking forward to the final fix :)
It would be nice to see this fixed and also some working examples of this extension actually working as well as documentation of any sort.

I've done some work on migrating (the very comprehensive) documentation from http://mapping.referata.com/wiki/User_manual to http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Maps Please help! Dan.

Looks like users of SMW 1.8+ are stuffed. Upgrading existing sites to SMW 1.8+ is also not possible if mapping is required because of this bug :(
Fixed on master as demonstrated by https://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_Maps_examples/Distance_query
