Lat/Long box changes my coordinates upon entry

I noticed when I enter latitude and longitude into the lat/long boxes directly on a map screen (instead of using sub-title) it automatically change when a exit the box. In the past I have used addresses in the sub-title box and it worked great. But now I have a list of Lats/Longs I want to put in directly but it changes the position substantially. I have tried different formats. Anyone else notice this or find a work around?

Yes I noticed this as well. This happens if you input the lat/long directly when adding a location and don't use a specific address to pull them automatically. What I have done is gone back after saving the location and clicked on the location name on the Location Map screen and then you will get the pop-up window with the location details. If you input the specific lat/long again here on this menu it will not change them. Hope this helps.

a) You enter sub-title, backend assumes this is an address and uses a lookup to get the lat/long for you - saving huge time. b) lat/lon isn't quite right or acurate...simply overwrite the values in entered for you. Tab to the boxes, enter whatever you want, save Hope this makes sense.
