Member Map Marker Moves

[dennyjones]

Maybe it was just mine but my marker on the member map moved, locating me to another city.   Has anybody else experienced that.   I believe it happened after the update.   @bkuehn1952 you will want to move yours again.

It updates based on the Location field. Your location is "Mid-Michigan" so it tries to figure out where that is, and puts the map marker there.

You should move to Bad Axe because that is a totally cool name!

Have you been to Bad Axe?   Pretty hick town...  It's some place you drive through.

The city was established in 1905.^[7] The city's unusual name^[8] dates to the time of its settlement. While surveying the first state road through the Huron County wilderness in 1861, Rudolph Papst and George Willis Pack made camp at the future site of the city and found a much-used and badly damaged axe. At Pack’s suggestion, Papst used the name “Bad Axe Camp” in the minutes of the survey and on a sign he placed along the main trail.^[9][10] The first post office in Bad Axe was established in 1870.^[11]

Didn't it previously localize to a specific location that we entered?  I thought I entered my location as my home golf course originally (or maybe that was the previous google maps that @DaveP043 set up).

If you specify an actual location by moving the marker around, it should stay there, I think.

The Location field should only be used if the user hasn't set a member map marker.

My marker is still set at Whispering Woods (I could set it to Golf Evolution).
