Google Maps locations – a Workaround fix!

Hi, Like many others Google Maps (admin page Locations) will not show location for a NEW entry.
I found a workaround as follows (using Chrome browser) – try it!
Enter the address, then open “Dev Tools” (from browser hamburger menu), and use “inspect” to look at page html code.
Under the address bit you will see a <div id=”location_coordinates” style=”display: none;”> then TWO inputs for Latitude and Longditude. Each will have value=”0″

Change the value to anything except zero and then in WP SAVE DRAFT.
Voila! NOW your new location will show the map.

@marcus – if you could just remove the display:none and add labels to the two inputs that would be great, and help all people with similar problem!
Thanks
Chris
