restaurants & bars - unable to map properly and link

Priddis View & Brew Bistro
http://www.chow.com/restaurants/915026/priddis-view-and-brew-bistro
I can't get it to map correctly from co-ordinates derived from google.
I can't get it to map correctly from co-ordinates derived from the website.
I can't get it to map correctly from the website address.
178067 Priddis Valley Road W, Priddis, AB T0L 1W0

I have it currently listed as Foothills No. 31, T0L 1W0, CA. Priddis is probably an unincorporated community.

It maps properly on the 'Priddis View & Brew Bistro' website google map:
http://viewandbrew.ca/pvb/map.html

Whether I use the street address, or the various co-ordinates, or Priddis or Foothills No. 31, I can't get it to map properly.

I also can't get it to link to Prairie Provinces threads. It won't appear in managing links. I've run out of tricks. :)

    There's a new record for Priddis View & Brew Bistro in the San Francisco Bay Area database.

    Is this a test record or a real place?

      I don't believe that I created it - certainly not intentionally.

        Upon further reflection, it is possible ,when I created the record with a Priddis, , CA address, a record was created with a San Jose address which caught me by surprise. I then edited the record with the Canadian address which took. I would have incorrectly assumed that this wouldn't, in part, duplicate the record.

          Thanks, there doesn't appear to be a business with that address in San Jose. So, I'll write over it with another new restaurant's info to use the slot in the database.

          On my end, I haven't been able to create new records and have been sending them in to JAS to add. That give me one to work with!

          Edited to add: Found this record for a place in Lake County that's misplaced in the SF Bay Area database.

      I haven't been able to add any restaurants either. Is there a special trick to this that I'm missing or are we just not allowed to do it for non-US addresses?

        You can't add restaurants unless permission to has been granted.
        Simply request permission in this thread:

            Anyone should be able to add restaurants now, even without the added permissions.

              I don't quite know what I'm doing wrong. Before it wouldn't let me add anything (kept rejecting all my attempts to add a restaurant no matter what format I put the address in). Now it let me add it to the list but the link won't show up properly in the reply post.
