Funster Map

C an anyone tell me why my drop pin on the map says I’m parked in the Gulf of Guinea just off the west coast of Africa. I’m not getting any damp in the van, but I think I can see some Somalian pirates, or maybe it’s the lucky lucky men, seeing I’m really in Spain.

My understanding is the map uses Google maps to automatically select a place based on the name. Unfortunately, place names are not unique and Google doesn't always pick the right one.

How do you find yourself on the map? Do you just have to hover over every single one until you find you?

It usually helps if you have a vague idea where you live.

I've got a rough idea yet my marker is nowhere to be seen.

Gulf of Guinea instead of Coventry, that’s nice

I'm placed there to, along with many others.
I'm guessing it's where the equator crosses the Greenwich time line.
I expect there is a more technical way of referring to 0,0.

Our marker isn’t where it’s supposed to be either. How do I check where it actually is?
