Location's map location is wrong

    I have a total of 33 locations and one location is appearing in the wrong place on the map. I verified it using google maps and there’s another location with a similar address, but it appears in its proper place.

    I tried deleting it and adding it back in with the same result. Under Manage, in the (Lat, Lon) column, the numbers seem correct, it’s just displaying incorrectly on the front end.

    Any fix for this, or reason this would be happening?

    1) The non-proper location is ..?
    2) The similar, but properly-placed, location is ..?
    3) Your website is ..?

    I went ahead and manually changed the lat/long values in the database and that fixed it. For some reason the address was displayed correctly, but when it saved the location it calculated the coordinates incorrectly.

    The address is:
    6481 W Main Street
    Houma, LA 70360

    But it was appearing two states away in Alabama.

    The similar/nearby address is:
    836 Grand Caillou Rd. Ste. 2
    Houma, LA 70363

    It can be viewed here: https://abcautoinsurance.com/test/

    As I said before though, I fixed it by going into the database. I just still wanted to follow up and show you the address in case it was something about it that was causing it.

    Unrelated, is there a way to order the initial view alphabetically?

    Had no issues with either address — entered both in Store Locator in local dev site, and they show up in Houma, LA like yours currently do. Can certainly guess that one could mistakenly enter in “AL” accidentally instead of “LA”, which could possibly initially throw things off.

    Very odd. It was just the one location out of 33 that did that and I copied and pasted the addresses. Maybe what I copied it from had a typo.

    Well, it’s fixed now either way.

    Thank you for following up.
