does anyone know how to make map pins display in correct position?

I have asked thus question before but no one could offer a clear answer. I have an app with over 50 pins worldwide and map is zoomed out fully. This makes pins move out if position. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue as i see some other apps that don't have this issue Can someone tell me if there's an easy way to fix this by replacing the pin image with an image that's been adjusted to sit in correct place when zoomed out Thanks

Not sure if this would help but some of my pins were out of place and when I checked longitude and latitude against a different site the Buzztouch info was off. The site I used to check was http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html

Mine looked out of place in the world view, but each time I zoomed in, they got closer, until I got to the "city" view, and the pins were OK.

I believe there is a new map screen in development. Hope it hits the plugin market soon

A cool alternative is to use a batchgeo map. And call using custom url screen. App users would require internet connection to see it. Just Google it

BatchGeo works great, I've been testing it a variety of ways. As I posted in another topic though, when you open it in a native browser, it asks to find the closest location point and shows your location on the map. Inside my BT app, it does not work. If I can't find a solution I may just release the app and users can choose the native browser option to view location but I'd prefer not to do that.
