As you may know, google has released the API V3 for the map. V2 is declared deprecated. Fox like me that is using the version 2 will run into confusion when they try to create new api key. I was using ztorelocator beta on http://mystore.com with a normal google api key. Now i am opening a new store because i am using magento ecommerce or aspdotnet multi store solution. So i bought a new domain www.buymycode.com that is targeting my client in ;Burkina Faso . For those who don't know what BF is..lol. A litle geogracphy for you: go back to school if u miss this one. well, it is a small and peacefull country in West Africa. I bet you will like it,it is hot like hell: i love it though.

Let me clarify, i am not stating that google API V2 is not working. It is still working: 2011 baby. Upgrade yourself with google. V3 is faster because it is designed to support Ipone and mobile browsing. check this http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/

Ok, let go back to my writting skills: Yes. Because of my new url ,i am not able to generate or signup for a new key from http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html

So, this month of May is my best month in every year. I will then do my best to provide a full working solution  or at least give you directions on how to create a store locator in asp.net using  google map ApI V3.

An expert is a person who has special skill or knowledge in some particular field; definition from most dictionaries.

Well, i believe an expert is not more than someone who is able to reproduce a solution to a problem or situation given by others.

In other word EXPERT is mmaybe sonmeone who have seen what you haven't yet seen in the programing languages. I alway encourage each programmer have google in his priority friends list.
Well , yesterday a from the State collegue run into a problem (creating) restoring a DB in Viisual studio 2008
He reported the error :The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing database and i believe the error number Error 3154;
Well through my year of experience in asp.net and MSSQL i have seen this at least once and as always i log my errors and solution in a my log bloc not.
the solution to this problem is just a line of code

RESTORE  DATABASE  MyNewDB

} }}

FROM 

That s all you need ..
Hopefully the above code will help you that is reading this..
again
1) Use WITH REPLACE while using the RESTORE command.
2) Delete the older database which is conflicting and restore again using RESTORE command.
those 2 steps is the solution to ya problem..remember , i am not an expert..I have seen it before you
