You have to move the pin by dragging and dropping now. For some reason typing in the location doesn't seem to work any more.

Just added notes, Ava. I don't know why I can't get the location info to populate correctly.

Is this a captive animal? It is from the Channel Islands, but your map has it pinned in Tampa. Please clarify in the notes section.
