Description of problem (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.):

The observation was originally entered with an incorrect location ( Hubley,NS,Canada). The observer then corrected the location to Zion National Park, Utah, USA. The map on the observation page is now correct, but you can see it still says Hubley,NS beneath the map.

there’s no bug here. the location description is just a label. you can change it to whatever you like. it may get populated automatically when the location is first selected, but the description may or may not change when you update the coordinates, depending on how you change the coordinates. so, again, at this point, just go in and change the location description to whatever you like, and all will be fine.

In this case would have to ask nevt to edit the location description to match their changed location.
