I think the main issue is that the form header containing the map looks like it is set summary information. If a user wants to update for example, the location type, they must do so in the form.
I propose that we add a new section to the form with the coordinates in a text input box and the editable map with instructions on how to update the map.
Thoughts?
Should it be possible to add a second point to the map?
@necoline I totally agree. A new section that more clearly looks like part of the form input sounds like the way to go.
There should only ever be one point, though it should be easy to change the location of the point.
Coordinates are reported by the data provider, and don't think they should be editable by users.

While I think that the data provider coordinates should generally be the ones we use as default, these do have errors sometimes (e.g. null islands, or sometimes sources will move stations physically, but not update their coordinates online, which technically would create a new station in our system), and it'd be cool if users could call out what they think are errors.
Maybe we can just call out that coordinate errors (or errors in general) can be reported in the "site notes" area? And/or perhaps some way for a user to flag when they are reporting an error, like a box they tick? This way, we can see when a potential error is being reported (so it doesn't just get buried in the text of the notes)? Then, the information can theoretically be brought back to the data provider to potentially adjust what coordinates/info they are putting out.
Got it. That's good to know. Let's change this issue to make it about:
I'll update the title & issue text.
Would it make sense to add a checkbox to mark if there is an error with the coordinates? This way, further down the line, it would be easy for the data provider to search for coordinate errors and correct them.
~Right now it's not clear that the map on the edit form is the approach used to add/edit coordinates.~
