I do have my Community site up and running at this point with several CB plugins.
I was able to geocode first test user with no errors.
Now when a new user registers theses errors are sent to the screen after register:
Warning: fopen(
api.local.yahoo.com/MapsService/V1/geocode?appid=maverickpl94&location=
) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request in /home/papillon/public_html/administrator/components/com_google_maps/google_maps.class.php on line 314
Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/papillon/public_html/administrator/components/com_google_maps/google_maps.class.php on line 316
The API needs that location to geocode it, so it could either be that the new user didn't fill out his/her address information upon registering, the address/city/state fields created for the Google Maps / CB plugin aren't enabled, or the Google Maps component can't find the CB fields on your site that store addresses.

you should also get your own appid from yahoo, just search for yahoo geocoding. If you take off "location=" and add "zip=13502" or any other zip you will get a good response, the problem that I found is that I don't know how to map "columns" from CB in the geocoder plugin settings, I tried field #, table.column name, just field names, nothing seems to work. If I figure this out, I will definitely let you know. Basically the fields are not mapped correctly, so the location field has nothing to encode and pass to yahoo geocoding service.
