I don't know what happened but my map pin left the US AND returned (almost) back to where it should be. since then it has drifted off again. now it's only 20-30 miles away from where I live. it's not the end of the world,I guess I can live with it.

I did make myself look a bit stupid recently when I started a conversation with another member. his pin appeared quite close so I enquired about meeting up. it turns out he actually lives 200 or so miles away. his pin indicated otherwise.

I guess there are issues with the new map and other people are having problems too

I'm glad to see that you're at least back in the same country now, Keith! By design, @Michael has the pin set to float within something like 25 miles of your actual location. This is for security, so that it doesn't point to your house. I think 5 miles might be a better range. A 25 mile radius for me includes about 40 cities and communities. But usually, my pin is in Lake Erie. ::screwy::

Many thanks indeed for your assistance. I believe there are others having similar issues. I understand the security aspect of your statement. thanks again, I'll continue to fly the flag where I can for OB (I mean it literally as I bought one of the large OB flags). I hope I have also spread the word to friends i made during my Royal Navy service up and down the country and in other countries to join this team of like minded people.

Thanks again OB

I've tried a number of methods. Plymouth, UK / Plymouth, England / Plymstock, Plymouth, UK / Plymstock, Plymouth, England etc etc. No change.

I've had the same problem as mine shows in a lake near where i live. I know they have been working on the map though

Hi @Michael , @Steve
When I tried this, it didn't even have a edit map location option for me.
My position on the map shows as about 5 thousand Km away, so on the east coast, and I'm on the west coast. I tried adjusting my location, and my radius from 5 to 1, cleared my cache, and tried different computers, operating systems. Still no luck. Any thoughts?

Fixed - it was a privacy setting. Your location will fluctuate within 2kms and thats normal. I'm going to try to improve the privacy setting issue so folks don't run in to this issue.

Thanks!
