The area where my app will be used is a rural location, and it keeps making bad guesses at road names in nearby villages, or sometimes comes up with 'null, null' as the address. Any help greatly appreciated... Thanks. Chris Title Comments I'm wondering if it is possible to remove the second line- the location details of your iPhone, when a location map is brought up.

Just write anything in the second line, then after the location is submitted, click on the location in the Control Panel and remove the second line. Comments Easy. I've done it.

I assume it gives the nearest street location in their database, which is confusing if you are in the middle of nowhere. So, to be clear, it is about removing the variable location description of your device rather than the detail on your chosen Buzztouch map pins...

I don't think it's something to worry about, because people will start clicking on the pins, and their location is just a blue dot. Comments Oh right. Makes sense now.

Once, I spent hours trying to get the design of my essay right (font + format), and to be honest, my teacher didn't like it! Comments I have it too.

Apple, Google, in my island they both stink, which is the groundwork for my occupation, lol! I use it for additional information... and the location is marked by coordinates, not addresses.
