Thats what I wanted to hear :D
Any chance you could drop me a line when that happens or better yet just add another comment right here?

CoPe, you will be able to drag and drop your location on a map very soon. :) – Lesley, on June 12, 2008 15:06

Its a bit annoying that we can't move the place-mark around the map to the correct position. Since I can't move it to its correct position I won't add that location...

Great! Glad you got it working. You can add a custom label to any lat-long location you use by adding [Insert Name] after your coordinates. Once you are able to click on a map to set your location, it should help with a lot of these types of problems. – Lesley, on June 10, 2008 23:39

uhm..what format is that longitude and lat 'sposed to be entered? decimal or deg-min-sec? Nevermind it worked.

I am pretty sure that it worked. It was a month ago so foggy here. However, if it had not worked- I would remember that.

Just to be sure I understand correctly...when you signed up you successfully entered your location and were able to create a placemark? Then the placemark got deleted and now your location that you entered before is no longer showing up? – Lesley, on June 10, 2008 23:05

I put my address in when I first signed up and it seemed like it worked fine. However, the place mark is gone, and now my home address no worky. Kinda put off by that. But hey, that is why you call this 'BETA' right? How will I know when this is fixed- I am not going to randomly put my address in hoping that one day it will work.

I find this frustrating as well. It's sort of a complicated issue that we are working hard to resolve. In the meantime, you can check in using lat-long and placemark that location for easier checkins. I know it's not the most convenient workaround, but it's been helpful to users experiencing this problem.

Soon you will be able to drag and drop your location on a map to select your location. :) – Lesley, on June 10, 2008 20:55

Has this issue been resolved? I too can find my home on the google maps, but not on Brightkite.
