I’m not sure how to add an image to this reply, so’ll try and describe it.
An example:
The location I’m interested in, may be Paris.
The name of the location – Paris – is shown above the current weather conditions, forecasts etc. etc.
But when I look at the map, I can see a number of current weather-conditions, but there’s no marker shown on the map which shows where Paris is to be found exactly.
Ok, maybe Paris isn’t such a good example, but when pointing at some little village, playing with zoom and scroll the map, I think it may be helpfull to keep some kind of marker to the place it originally seems to center anyway.
