    Hi, trying to set a post location to the Rhone glacier, I can only find it by its local name Rhonegletscher (which is fine) and the correct location is shown. But after saving the post, that location name is changed to “Switzerland” while the geo coordinates remain correct.

    I tried changing the postmeta geo_address value but it keeps resetting itself.

    Hi,
    I guess that behavior is coming from the reverse-Geocodierung that is executed when saving.

    Let me analyze that to come up with a suggestion…

    Well, I think this is sort of a bug to be addressed:

    Feature was implemented in 1.7.6:
    When pressing the „load“ button, everything will be derived as usual.
    However, when manually changing the Address Text and saving the post then, your last text will be taken. That way, the behavior from previous releases is still possible and you can also overwrite the text to be shown.

    Keep in mind that a „re-derive“ in the admin settings will overwrite your manual adjustments.
