My app uses location maps with multiple positions so will display the map zoomed out. This makes the pins appear as though they are in the wrong position as it appears buzzttouch maps use the tip of the pin rather than the base to mark the position so if i have map pin for a location near the coast then the tip of the marker is in the correct place however the base of the marker is in the water giving the appearance that the location is in the sea. Is there any way to change the code so the base of the marker is used rather than the tip. Thanks Title Comments I think this may have been answered before but i can't find the post for it.

adpjavier Lost but trying Posts: 24 Reg: Nov 08, 2011 Honolulu 4,040	08/31/12 01:40 PM (13 years ago) I have this issue on my Android build as well, the location is actually the top left corner of the pin, rather than the bottom center. I just replaced the image with an arrow similar to our mouse arrows for now. So instead of the pin pointing downwards into the ocean, the image shows an arrow with the top left tip on land.

I am considering using a batchgeo map instead. just Google batchgeo to see. Comments Thanks for info. I tried a different pin but had same results.
