Pinned location and location text

[DianaStuder]

For this week’s obs I made a new pinned location Steenberg Plateau.
I don’t have GPS so I move the dot and circle on the map to the right place.
Then iNat defaults back to Google Maps text and ignores the name I pinned.

That default is Silver Mine. Which is wrong. There is no such place. That part of Table Mountain National Park is called Silvermine (one word) which records the history. Silver mine was a scam, there was and is no silver.

Lots of earlier threads. Will list a few here for convenience

I would appreciate if iNat would respect the name we gave our location, and did not default back to Google.

And for a Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden example
I overwrite the text to show where I am

But most of obs there show as Wynberg (the suburb), which requires extra effort from identifiers to sort out - is it Wild, or planted in NBG? Way out of range because planted at K’bosch?

When you move the pin it’s not your pinned location any more and the text defaults back to google. When I have an observation in the area of the pin, but want to be exact, I first choose the pin, then copy my text, then move the pin and overwrite the google with my copied text.

I deliberately made a large circle, moved to stay IN that circle - but copypasta is a workaround, yes.
