Wrong Location — Please Answer

[joelsax47]

I’ve been trying to get an answer on this for weeks. I have written to nick, posted to related topics, and there is a wall of silence.

Here is the problem: I use Google maps to determine the location of a feature. I copy and paste it to the address/gps field. Add the marker. And bam! It moves the pin off in what seems to be a random direction.

I was hoping for some resolution in the last release. And what changed for me? Nothing. It keeps moving the pins wherever it feels like moving them.

Is there something that I need to do that I haven’t been doing when I enter the coordinates? Is there a possible plugin conflict? Please don’t ignore this!

Here are a couple of examples. 33.696295, -117.640592 is a point in Orange County that I derived through use of Google Maps. It moves the pin to the east.

33.694345, -117.642358 is a second point obtained from the same source. In this case, it moves the pin south.

So there is no rhyme or reason to the movement.

OK, figured it out by brute force. 🙂

Suggestion: Put the solution on the troubleshooting page.
