Brightkite is moving me across the Atlantic

I'm trying to check in my location at a hotel in Plymouth, UK - Future Inn, Plymouth. When I initially search for this it correctly finds the hotel (1, William Prance Road), however when I click on this to try and check in my location, it then changes the address to a Plymouth across the other side of the atlantic! Definitely seems like a bug.

I’m frustrated

RTPeat, this is a known issue and it's something of a complicated problem. We are working on ways to fix this. In the meantime you can try checking in using a nearby intersection or lat-long coordinates and adding a custom label to that location. You can find more on lat-long here:

I hope that helps.
