Hi

I put a sports club location onto a google map location in england.
For some reason when the Marker C location saved, the position was not
correct and probably 0.5km from the correct position.

And now for some reason I can not "Edit" and change the position of
the 'Torbay Tigers Basketball Venue' Marker "C". It should be in the
school sports hall but is now placed in someones house!!

There is no Edit option for me to change its position.

I have gone through the "Move the Marker for a location" notes at
http://maps.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=98014 and
the the above help notes just don't work.

I have tried editting it in Google Mapmaker but Marker "C" does not
come up in their to change it.

Please can someone help me.

Thanks

Rather than just asking here, I suggest making a formal report on the
issue tracker.

Thanks for the reply.

Sorry to ask this but where can I find this Issue Tracker web link ?

I have had a search around and it was not obvious where it was. Sorry
about this.

Hi Mike,
Sorry we couldn't get back to you earlier but, we are investigating
this issue and will get back to you. This does seem to be a bug and
you can still post it on the issue Tracker that Rich had suggested:
http://code.google.com/p/google-mapmaker/

Regards,
Map Maker Guide.

great.
All the best
Mike

Dear Mike,

Is this the marker that you were trying to move?
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Torbay+Tigers+Basketball+Venue&sll=55.378051,-3.435973&sspn=8.547416,23.269043&g=united+kingdom&ie=UTF8&hq=Torbay+Tigers+Basketball+Venue&hnear=United+Kingdom&ll=50.393773,-3.565021&spn=0.004507,0.011362&t=h&z=17&iwloc=A

If not, can you post a link to the actual listing you added by
checking your user profile (the place should be listed there)?

Cheers,

Jen.

The correct placement of the marker can be found on www.torbaytigers.co.uk
under the "Venue" button.

Thanks

Mike,

When you click on the marker, do you see the "more" link/drop down in
the info window? If so, click on it and look for the "Edit" option.
Does that appear for you OK and have you tried moving the marker per
that option?

Cheers,

Jen.

Hi Jen

Thanks for looking into this for me.

I do see the "more" in the link/drop down in the left hand window but the
"Edit" option is greyed out and I can not select it.

I'm assuming I need the "Edit" option to be available to try and move the
marker.

Regards
Mike

Mike,

Cheers,

Jen.

Hi Mike,
I have edited the place now based on the coordinates given. Here is
the link:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&view=map&e=ForceExperiment&q=Torbay+Tigers+Basketball+Venue&sll=50.396427,-3.559291&sspn=0.009048,0.009323&g=50.395237,-3.558819&ie=UTF8&ll=50.396516,-3.559291&spn=0.008877,0.009323&t=h&z=17&iwloc=A

Hope that resolves the issue :)
