  Thank you for the tip. You were 100% correct. I selected Google as our geocoder and it's working correctly now.

Answers.Text: Clearing the settings and re-selecting them worked for me after upgrade to 4.6.26, cleared the existing settings, saved, then re-selected Google and saved again. No Key needed for google :)

  Proximity search worked fine for me in 4.7.11 and 4.7.10. Proximity search is available on the demo if you select a geocoding provider (**Administer menu » System Settings » Mapping and Geocoding**).
  
  I'd advise checking/changing your system's geocoding settings. If that doesn't work, please update the question with the settings that aren't working, this is likely specific to your settings.
