Odd map coordinates

    Odd map coordinates

    I suspect that having the waymark approved will correct this problem, but it's rather confusing. A waymark awaiting approval (http://www.waymarking.com/wm/details.aspx?f=1&guid=45b5465a-1dd8-4684-90de-f420f33da41f&lat=54.13865&lon=-4.47545&t=6&gid=2) shows a Google map. The map has coordinates above it, and you'd assume that these refer to the Waymark being displayed. However, they are of a nearby geocache (not that close by either - almost a mile away). Possibly, it's the nearest geocache that I own: but in any case, without any explanation this is rather misleading. The flag on the map is also in the position of the geocache, although the waymark itself is also shown on the map. Is this a feature? If so, it's rather odd.
