Waymark resets to nearest city

You get the first coordinates by dragging the marker to the sandbank in the admin area, but they show up as the second set of coordinates on the site? What’s the url of your site?

I was always under the impression that the bounds check would just zoom in/out until all the markers fitted on the screen, and not adjust coordinates of the actual markers. Although your case seems to show the opposite ??

I will do some testing to see what’s going on, and how to fix it. Thanks for pointing it out ??

The map is being used on https://experimentalnomad.com/lost-sea-came-desert-island/

You’ll notice that it’s currently working, because I hacked the hidden location field to be visible and then pasted in the right coordinates.

(I also hacked up a change to allow me to override map type on a per-map basis. Do you want me to open a new issue for that?)

I found the problem, when the coordinates are geocoded Google Maps returns a different set of coordinates https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=4.0221535105321475,73.4024250097657&sensor=false which are used to place the marker on the map.

It returns

“location” : {
“lat” : 3.9019052,
“lng” : 73.46745199999999
},

I have think on a solution for this. Maybe I will make the latlng input fields visible so users can customize the coordinates if they want to. And I added the option to change the map type for each map to the list for the next release.

Thank you very much. Let me know if you’d like me to test anything.

The 1.2+ version contains an option to always shows the latlng input field. It has to be enabled under options -> route editor options.
