Could it be a Browser Issue. I'm using Netscape and using the Back Icon takes me Back to exactly where I was before I Clicked Submit.

If you think that the Postcodes are inaccurate, you should see some of the data that comes from the companies themselves.

I've just discovered that the coordinates from my previous entry are still there in the "Find" box. As I was relocating four all into the same entry road, I simply clicked Find and the whole UK view zoomed back to where I was before (now tell me this magic tip is exactly what all you clever pantses are already doing) 
edited once I should have added I'm using Firefox, (on a MacBook Pro 17, so that you can be jealous)

On a few POI's I made for work I marked all the entries with an * unless I had physically been to the location and confirmed its accuracy.
Could the database do the opposite where we have an option to confirm a location. We come on here and tick a box and an * is added to the end of the place name.
Just a thought... |

Ground verification and date is the only way to ensure any degree of accuracy.
Furthermore if date was added it would give added incentive to ensure currency ie ground validated with 2 years gives higher value that POI that has not been seen for 10 years.
Great database, just try and ensure it has some value and not just a list of POI's with little credence. |
