      Done, not sure what happened there, I manually typed in the location. It certainly wasn't the middle of the ocean :) Posted 9 years ago

      Thank you :) - I'm pretty sure it was me doing something stupid. I incorrectly thought that by me typing a town name and pressing the save button, it located the town and applied the geotag. This was not the case though and as such, me typing the town name did nothing and when I hit save - the geotag marker was in the middle of the water. Definitely no hover flies collecting pollen there! Posted 9 years ago

          Yup - not sure why on this occasion I neglected to do it and thought it was normal. Clearly need another weekend full of rest...

        Thanks for that, this may explain why it happens for some other users as well. The initial location is 0,0. Posted 9 years ago

          I'm glad my momentary lapse of intelligence/attention has been useful :D Posted 9 years ago
