I absolutely love that people can now edit their map pin on submit and edit.. But, if you do not have the Geo ip database loaded, the map defaults to a location in California.
Is there any way that we can decide on the default location? Or any way that the pin could place itself based on address input?
The pin is auto-placed based on address input, of course. It refreshes the pin location whenever any of the address-related fields change. If you're having to manually locate the pin then there's something wrong and you should submit an inspection request: http://www.wsnlinks.com/inspection.html . Although if you're working with incomplete addresses, like just a city with no street address, then indeed the pin would have to be placed manually I believe.
As for what it shows before they enter a complete address, you can pass a default zoom level, latitude and longitude in the template by replacing {LINKSUBMITEDITMAP} with {LINKSUBMITEDITMAP[5 <,> 47.01 <,> -120.15]} where 5 is the zoom level, 47.01 is the latitude and -120.15 is the longitude.
