I've been trying to work out why my users keep screwing up their pins, reading the instructions it seems there is one small error

Welcome to the Member Map page. This feature is in beta development. To insert your entry just click on your entry and center the new map on your location. The latitude and longitude will change automatically. Don't forget to enter your user name to accompany your marker. For security we do not advise entering your exact location. Once entered clicking your entry will load an update page. If your marker doesn't show directly, just close your browser and restart it or clear your browser cache.
I think the correct way is to centre the location first, zooming to do so, then click "your entry" so it inputs the lat and long from the centre of the screen.

I'd suggest altering the default googlemap_intro phrase and adding the FAQ I posted earlier. Mine now reads
