    Trouble with Standardized Location.

    When you add a location to a Memory, it will not allow you to add your own unique location name.

    Problem 1: If you type in a location, the drop-down Standardized location offers you options. If you prefer to keep using your unique location name and then press “Enter,” a Standardized location will be generated regardless. Sometimes that location is correct, sometimes not.

    You will need to adjust your unique location name so you can get a more accurate Standardized location. Then you can click “Submit.”

    Problem 2: If you have entered a unique location name, and have found a closely-related and accurate Standardized location, and you have clicked “Submit” to save your changes. . . Only the Standardized location is saved in the Details on the Information Side-bar for your Memory.

    This is a known issue that the Engineers are working on.

    See images below to help clarify this issue.

      Though you will not be able to write in unique location names for the "Add Place" under the Details section on the Memory Viewer (the system will insist upon a "standardized" location), there is no plan right now to change this function.

      This might be a features that is provided in later updates.
